I am so glad that even 1 poster has understood the concept. Everyone look at the number of Posts concerning Farang Taxation in this sub-forum. Chaos total. It will become necessary to "outsource" your risk. Otherwise some minor Tax Officials will have a field day with Farang Taxpayors. Them offering "solutions" in form of "Brown Envelopes". Cheaper to hire an Accountant. As I wrote before: " Of course the accountant can not be held responsible, if the Farang uses any sort of trickery. In real life: Supply ALL the documents the acccountant requires from you. Have him sighn for every document that he receives from you. Put yourself in a "no fault" position from the very start. After that, if the accountant "goofes-up" something, he can very well be held responsible, especially if he is a certified "Tax specialist" expected to be up to date with current Tax Legislation. After all you are a Farang overwhelmed by a new intransparent "Tax System". Seeking the help of a Thai specialist to comply with "the law of the land" and even willing to pay for it. Even before a Thai judge, the Farang will look good under such circumstances".

Thanks a million. Very comprehensive. Will go thru it step by step. If that doesn't remedy the problem, I will buy a new apparatus and throw this one out the window.

Not sure if this thread was fully understood by all. It's about TRANSFERRING YOUR RESPONSABILITIES to a Thai professional. Taking the Farang out of the "firing line" of modestly educated "Thai-Officials" that are constantly overwhelmed by new legislation. Not likely available in the deepest of Isaan. But in tourist hubs, yes. All major agreements with the Thai Accountant in writing. All verbal Agreements in Thailand are of no relevance.

I don't us a "Spellchecker". What I type is what you get. But I am sure your written English, French and Italian is as good as mine. Or better?

Clearly, you have not been living in Thailand for a long time.

Thank God for GG. Otherwise we would fall asleep here. His daily comments are a guiding light for me. Him analysing the world (and human nature) daily. Always in connection with profound findings concerning human existance. Never mind other "social media". Never mind the Library of Congress. The wisdom of the world has found a home with GG's daily comments here. 😉 "Hony soit qiu mal y pense". French, Google is your friend.

My laptop going crazy. For example: More and more it happens when I want to sart-up the screen remains black. Then I have to "kill" the pointless procedure by pressing the "on" button. After a second start-up after 10 seconds the start up is successful. Also; By clicking on the "return arrow" (upper left of the screen), it brings me back not to the previous site but to the 2nd previous site. Crazy! My laptop tells me that his name is "ASUS". 4 years old. Not sure if that is of any importance.

Taxation of "foreighn-income" is all the rage here. Why not hire a reputable Thai Accountant, specialising in taxes generally? If Problems arise, refer the Thai Tax Wizards to your Thai Accountant. Under the Motto: "If my Thai Accountant can't handle my Thai taxes, how could I"? Example: I had my Visa-Stuff handled by a Thai Visa Agent. Once immigration discovered some "irregularity". I refered them to my Visa Agent. I never heard anything from immigration in this matter ever again. I am absolutely sure, that such a constellation would also be applicable in connection with "foreighn income". Money well spent, especially if larger amounts are involved.

By Walking down the Streets: How can the "arresting forces" know witch hispanic is here illegally versus a legal hispanic?

Yepp! How many planes/flights will it take to deport 5 to 10 million? How many buses/trains?

Worse: He has basically declared economic war on the rest of the world, including allied nations. By the end of his term, the US will have no (democratic)friends left. A while ago, a former president called a certain date in US history as "A day that will live in infamy". Jan 20 will qualify for such an expression once more.

Of course everybody is happy as "he" promesed everything to everybody. Ranging from auto workers to his billionaire buddies.

sorry, copy & paste not working.

Real Estate is good. But let's not forget that this sails under "2025 stock favorites". As I don't invest in women anymore, I am getting more "liquid" by the day. To increase my liquidity further, I have sold my old Buick and my kitchen sink yesterday. So, I am open to stock recommendations. Let's rock and roll. 😉
