Presnock

actually, the Senate re-wrote the original bill from the House which was 3.5% but to avoid causing any headaches for real Americans as the bill is aimed at foreign nationals working in the US and sending funds back to their homeland. If you send from a US bank, it will not be taxed. There are some other caveats but the regular expat should not have to worry about it at all.

they may feel vindicated somewhat in the amount of money they got paid. They also are older than those days, have seen and read about the "suicides of people with knowledge of the rich and powerful. IMHO of course since I can only speculate based on watching el presidente in those wild party days with Epstein et al.

totall agree, she knows enough about certain people and I am sure has made a promise about keeping quiet or not depending on her future...after all she doesn't especially like "suicide".

Actually, the 2029 mention was about the crypto bit, not all the rest of free taxes on income. Anyway, until the final bill is out in the Gazette, none of us knows what it will say nor how it will affect expats...or maybe even then depending on who writes it up/translates it IMHO

Especially THIS Supreme Court which is seemingly totally under DJT control. That is why he got 3 new judges there already and possibly will have another soon. This is MHO anyway with all the decisions they have made concerning Trump's actions.

Yeah you ask a simple question...have you read anything about the Epstein death in prison and the surrounding strange details concerning his "suicide"? Big money and safety many times takes away a victim's wanting legal ramifications for their attacker IMHO anyway from what I have seen and read over the years.

totally agree...IMHO once she is pardoned, all doubt should be removed that she would ever say anything negative about what el presidente may have done while visiting the island or on the Epstein plane. That in my mind would indicate that he is guilty and that he has been assured that nothing would ever be mentioned by her. As for the victims, they have courageously come out against some big names and we all know that the rich and powerful do many things that regular citizens would go to prison for doing the same thing. A sad but real situation and has been happening forever IMHO.

totally agree...have two daughters, both went to Intl schools here, one at ISB and one at CMIS. I talked with the teachers, watched how my CMIS daughter who went to local Thai schools until I recognized no real learning nor teaching skills...and at CMIS daughter changed 180 degrees and wanted to go to school to LEARN more every day! She graduated speaking, reading, writing, and teaching in 4 different languages, one (korean) was self taught because of the BTS group and she has passed the highest level of the international Korean proficiency test, is a student at the #1 University here and for her upcoming junior year is an exchange student going to a top Korean University. My older daughter also graduated from an International school in Italy, and while in US university, aa Italian professor asked her to come talk to her often as she liked to spean with a real Roman in Italian. so both are multilingual as well as well educated in other subjects including computers and AI!

Yeah, the only new thing was the adding of the crypto bit and lasting for a 5-year period only but the rest seems to still be under discussion and they end up having to start all over if a different goverment is in place. But at least IMHO most expats are much more aware of the possible taxation plans than previously.

The only being he worships is himself and seems that is really obvious whenever he talks about any accomplishments that he supposedly has done yet in most cases any success was without his involvement at all. IMHO again.

Even though only 6 months into this term, if the MAGGOTS still believe every lie uhhh word out of his mouth and orchestrating the kangaroo courts so to speak behind the scenes, like transferring the covictied pedophile sweetie of Epstein to the lowest level prison in the US system where her conviction does not even make her eligible for that prison and then he says he knew nothing about it until he read it in the news! What a really big fool to think anyone would believe that... now we just have a wait a bit and she will be pardoned so that will mean we don't get to hear her talk about his visits to the island and plane trips. IMHO anyway.

well. I am an American and I have friends and family still living in the US in many different states. None of them are happy with his performance and all complain about how the cost of everything they want including food continues to rise instead of getting cheaper. Housing is a joke now, with hardly anyone able to afford buying a new house while rents' costs are climbing rapidly. Once the tarrifs get going, no one will be able to afford a new vehicle either. Just passing on the complaints from those I trust still in the states.

your last line is telling...IMHO those Thais with funds stashed outside of Thailand under no circumstances with they be bringing in those funds for the govt to count. These funds will then be "marked" to see just how much that person should be bringing in each year and if less than those repatriated funds then an audit might be inidicated as the TRD will know what should be sent into Thailand every month/year after the initial amount returned. My feeling on that anyway and along those lines, just because of the possibility of being taxed caused quite a few expats to move to greener pastures at least 6 months of every calendar year if not longer.

well, they did spell out that come Sept of this year when the revenue collected is counted, they will be short at least 25 billion baht I believe they said and that was the reasoning in fixing the taxes on folks which also caught up remitted changing to worldwide income taxes so by now everyone is so confused, no one has any idea what is being discussed. Even the tax "advisers" indicate they are getting nothing new from their contacts. Shortly, we might have a whole new govt that will begin the process all over possibly IMHO. This particular article just seems to be re-write of the original newspaper articles to sell additional copies.
