I dont remember the last time my passport left the safe except for annual extension and foreign travel. PH

I currently have AIS mobile at 700 a month - this seems mcuh cheaper option if it works. The link is to a SIM Card...my phone has two slots, so could I use one for a phone SIM and the other for this for internet use? PH

In the same way savings transferred here by us for ourselves may be assessable income by the Thai Regulations, then it may be assessable income for her. That she is Thai makes no difference and to comply, she should complete a tax return but may not have any tax to pay. PH

Doesn't want to mix with the riff raff, but happy to use a baht bus...bit of a contradiction? PH

Absent any other information, it would appear that this is exactly the sort of "sending money home" that the new regime is tryign to tighten up on. Does she work? If so, then doesn;t she already complete a Thai tax return? PH

There have been several posts stating or implying that if you have paid tax on income in your home country, then you cannot be taxed here if your country has a DTA with Thailand. I think this is not entirely true as if the Thai tax rate is higher than that in your home country, then I believe you could be liable for the difference. PH

Brits in receipt of non-state pensions paid by public bodies should consult this list to see if their pension is covered by the DTA or not: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040 The state pension (OAP) is NOT covered by the DTA and is assessable income. PH

If your fever is caused by a virus, then antibiotics will do diddly sqaut to help. Stay hydrated, rest; if symptoms persist more than a week or get worse, go see a doctor. PH

Just because Trump said Epps was a Government Agent does not make him one. But Trump's lies about one of his own acolytes are telling about Trump's own tbhought processes....throw anyone and everyone under the bus to protect himself. PH

I wonder if all the falang keyboard warriors on here who express doubts about the story and leap to defend the American would have exactly the same reaction if it were a story about a Thai man doing exactly the same thing? Doubt it. PH

The link from mistyblue gives a definitive answer for UK pensions that could have been a grey area. UK Armed Forces are specifically included as Government Pension for the DTA. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040 PH

Very useful link for UK members. PH

As far as credit card spending, how would they know? AFAIAA there is no link between issuing bank and taxman for any such. Or am I missing something? PH

Mike Only reference I can find to pensions in the UK Thailand DTA is as follows: Article 19.......(2) (a) Any pension paid by the Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to any individual in respect of services of a governmental nature rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority thereof shall be taxable only in that State. Is this the source of your statement above? If so, would seem to include Local Authority employee pensions - which may (not sure) include such as police, fire service, teachers...I think they, like Armed Forces, are not technically "Civil Servants" PH

Worth checking to make sure....email sent to Equiniti. If we all do this one of us might get a reply! PH

Another who thinks this is aimed at us. It is not. In the broader scheme of the thai economy, a few grumbling expats staying or leaving is a rounding error in the overall fiscal numbers. PH

Yes. You appear to think these measures are aimed at expats, when they are aimed at Thais who work overseas and send money home tax-free and wealthy Thais who "manage" the system. That we are (may be) caught up in this is, perhaps, collateral damage. Or it may not affect us at all. PH

And be given a Thai ID card without any hassle?

I live in a project where we are on top of this. Condo Byelaws explicit for no short-term lets, but the biggest factor is enforcement and here we are fontunate to employ our office staff directly rather than using a management company. Providing you can get enough support, then an AGM resolution to change the management company to your own staff could well make the existing company much more proactive in enforcing the rules (I am assuming your rules do not allow short term lets here). I would look to go the own-staff route in any case. Talking to others who live in projects with Man.Cos, the difference is marked - they work for us, not for the Company we employ. PH

"Men are too frightened...". Perhaps a look in the mirror might show someone who needs to be less frightened. Or move on. It appears you may be as much the problem as your wife. PH

So, if we all have non-resident bank accoutns, and if the funda are not "really" in Thailand, we will never have remitted any money TO Thailand and will have zero problems with any income taxes that may or may not be about to be enforced. PH

They say the same about you 5555

Also looking for an English teacher (as in, teaches English) for two young girls, aged 9 and 7. Village up towards Akat, but mothers (the girls are neices) could deliver and collect within reasonable distance.

Can you send me same?
