Even in the so-called Democratic countries USA and UK are certainly not and yes Thailand once again ignoring the General Election results. Yes, USA and Blighty are not democratic and the apathy regarding the latter is insignificant.

Just the leaders!!

You forget the word money but agree with you and anyway what exactly is money?

See the PM got off scot-free and what a surprise NOT but his Government is run by Thaskin but yes only the leaders are banned for 10 years and they forming a new party. Even the so-called democracies the US and UK are simply not and the vast majority of so-called politicians are pure filth, vermin and scum throughout the world!!!

No, I'm afraid I have to disagree they voted for another Government and the PM never got the pro junta Senators' votes and yes they did make it very clear that some things were just going to be discussed as possible amendments. BTW the current PM and his Government orchestrated by Thaksin got off scot-free!! So a new party is to be formed but the names of the individuals are banned for 10 years unless there is a way around it. However, in so-called Democracies like the USA and UK are simply not democracies and in the main, the vast majority of so-called politicians are pure filth vermin and scum!!!

Yeah Everyone in the village would know id someone had died and yes the bank s as well!!!

Yes, like properties and split say between 2 linked families with differing surnames or nicknames and was told by a lawyer that NY wishes are too complicated and yes our families agreed but in regards to the bank the ex-pat has 800K in the bank account and yes think distant cousins and thieves can make a claim and has to go to Probate. Yes can write wishes and have done before but even if there is a will and that is not just in Thailand people can query a will through the courts. Write one out expressing your wishes but in any case, one would not know whether your wishes would be carried out or not and yes true to life everyone fighting for what they can get. In any case, a will made my Late Mum via a solicitor in the UK left one of her children out of the will but some people do the right thing and transfered from me to her.

Yes, this is the time of the year when we ask what sites are streaming live football matches and what are the subscriptions like on True sports and can one see on the home computer. Thanks all

Yes on the old forms 90 and 91 and yes the heading is Taxation from Employment but in the first box state salary and pensions!! BTW I went around again for the 4th time today and recently my local Tax office stated nothing has changed but think forms going to be updated Oct/ Nov in any case I am below the current exemption and allowances and a tax form is unlikely to be filed and so not worry about it!!! As if don't worry about all the issues here.

Yes, see your point but the old forms foes say pensions as well as employment but the heading is from Employment but no on know until 2025!!

Precisely and on a wind up too

Yeah, I know this gets asked before every season. However, going to ask again and want to know if there any streamed matches on just home computer and what sites are there, as it seems so many are being shut down. I know there is True Sports but are the subscriptions very expensive? Thanks all

We still not know if we have to lodge a tax form but wait until later on the year and forms are due to be printed Oct/Nov

As a British Citizen apparently our State pension could be taxed in Thailand but only of course if higher than the 560k threshold which of course included the 1st exemption tax of 135K. Yes, I too been advised to await a possible? confirmation but between The Revenue, All the tax experts with differing opinions and of course the present Government they have no clue on how this pans out. I guess that those who do file and even that is not certain if the forms are available or a change in Government or PMm but then the Revenue then might start asking questions. Who knows but the 3 areas seem to not have a clue!! The crucial date is 1st Jan 2025 but think will not do anything but just prepare estimates.

Hi Mike Yes, I just saw this newish subject and noticed your post for Jan 24. I have posted my experiences on the other part of the 11 sites and yes I have indeed gone to my local Revenue office 3 times recently and originally stated to wait until the new forms which are being printed in NOv/Dec. As and if they appear but other than that they seemed t not to know very much of at all about this ex-pat issue and suggested I wait an official confirmation. I have seen out-of-date forms PND 90 and PND 91 as well as the Income Exemption Form for being over 65 years of age. The first income tax exemption of 150k of course is taken away at the last calculation and if there is any tax then the next level of 5% and so and only if needed. Mike thanks again for all of your help but it seems we wait and see but prepare our rough estimates in the meantime. Correct and anyone?

Yes, it seems the advice and not legal is the Revenue has no clue about this ex-pat issue they simply do not know and I have been 3 times in the last month to my local branch and yes we all know so many tax experts with widely different views and of course the Government (which one and for how long) also do not know but fact is like in the western world they never go after the filthy rich and only 10 million Thais do file. So we await but we have all done our calculations and many of us very straightforward, or so it should be but the Authorities, again nothing is simple Also, they have to find.10k Baht for this so-called Digital Wallet scheme and just where are they going to get this money from? We await official forms and printing in October/November but we shall soon find out official announcements which is doubtful.

Phulu

Yes, just giving my experiences and am a frozen British pensioner but was speaking to a couple of people tonight and all suggesting wait and see if and when these new forms to come about. Also stated we await the official announcement but no one seems to know anything and yes of course the present Government, the Revenue and all the tax and accounting "experts" We wait and see but also planning and the key date os 1st Jan 2025 and maybe we will hopefully find out before then if we ever do. More likely we file a tax form if we can and then the Revenue will ask questions?

Yes, I was going to post a general reply and have stated before been to my local tax office 3 times to try and establish what is happening and needless to say they have no clue on the overall situation on this policy and you would have seen all the differing experts all saying different things. Yes, it appears the present Government and the Revenue do not understand it either but people suggesting forms will be available in November/December if and when this is true. It also appears and this is not unusual the Government seem to be divided on this issue. I have spoken to a few Thai friends who indeed file a tax form and they do not understand it either. This PM might not survive in August but also listened to a Thai lawyer and a Thai interviewer speaking in English, just yesterday Sunday and trying to clarify things and noticed the lawyer often smiling (smirking?) as if there are far wider issues. Also, they have find the 10k wallet giveaway and where is this money coming from? Yes, and should be from the filthy rich both ex-pats and Thais but no they are not being targeted and the same the world over. Mike Lister and a few others have been very helpful but it seems that everyone agrees and we should wait (how long ?) for official announcements and not do anything but do our own calculations. Thoughts? Yes, indeed we are on page 47 already on this part 11. What to do just sit back but in time it will be clearer as if lol Finally, most of us only have no tax or very little tax approx 3k at most while trying to look after our wonderful Thai families and yes hare enough on frozen state pensions and the like.

Thanks 4myego
