Whatever you do, Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant... ???? 

 

Jeb has given away more to charity's than anyone else ever did on the xrp team

How much has Chris larsson ever given away from his billions? Nothing!

 

Why would he give 14 days notice on the forums that he was going to dump his shares if he did not care about users? (it upset the team when he gave his new gf a top job) 

 

As the founder i think he has a right to reuse his own code so i don't know what relevance that has to do with anything

 

Xlm is a newer better Version of xrp, both created by the same man and both in the top #5, i like the xlm roadmap better but i still own hold both for many years now

 

You should probably diversify yourself, you seem to be an xrp fanatic  

 

 

Yes lets get our facts right shall ?..

Chris Larsen

Chris’s pledge of 7 billion XRP, which will be donated over time.

Jed McCaleb - only charitable reference i can find...in the mans own words 

I can finally donate 2B of my XRP to charitable causes, something I was unable to do under the prior agreement. This allows me to continue to fund more charities like Give Directly and MIRI which has been something I was actively doing prior to the previous agreement.

But I was under the impression that you don"t have to pay tax on foreign investments unless you bring the gains back into the country within the same tax year as the gains were realized?

Read what it says.... "those who live in Thailand but trade digital assets abroad.....declare such income" it makes no mention of of paying or not paying tax..and how can one prove or not prove when the income was earned unless you declare and show proof ? 

If you are resident in Thailand for 180 days a year or more you are tax resident and your are suppose to declare such income...operative word is "declare" if on review you havent paid the mandated 15% capital gains tax on cryptos per the new laws they will want their 15% for certain, unless of course you can prove you have paid tax on the same amount elsewhere in the world one suspects

Now how they will catch you is another question, unless someone is stupid enough to transfer from an overseas exchange to a Thai Bank account

Yes, Saudi Arabia is an important US ally.

 

Yes, the world economy depends on Saudi Arabia oil exports.

 

No, that doesn't mean Saudi Arabia can send a hit squad abroad to kill anyone who irritates the new leader.

 

Dealing with a situation like this is complicated, and no response will leave everyone satisfied.  However this administration's pathetically weak response is an embarrassment to the country, a betrayal of ideals, and will encourage other despots to commit similar crimes.

So your resident for tax then, living in serviced apartments  shouldnt be an issue then 

6 minutes ago, jkthai said:

It seems it makes things a lot simpler when completing the forms if you can provide a Thai TIN ,

but appears a bit more difficult obtaining one in some areas of the country.

 

My problem is I spend a lot of time in Serviced apartments , so have no permanent residence as such , would expect if \I applied to the tax office they would make that an issue

 

Any one got any alternative suggestions

Are you in Thailand more than 180 days a year ?...if your not, you cannot be resident for tax purposes in Thailand

We're slightly digressing here, however according to the Isle Of Man Bank (telecom this week) they do not share any Bank Acct information with Thailand, at present, as there is no agreement in place, to report parties who reside in Thailand and have Bank Acct held with them, to the Thai Tax Authorities. 

 

Therefore, if you complete the Tax Residency Application and certify you are living in Thailand, with a Thai Tax ID No, that will satisfy their requirement of self certification of living in Thailand for Tax purposes. If you don't, you maybe subject to further questions, like other people on this forum. Some have presented a reasonable defence and no more questions asked, others not so fortunate and been subject to the third degree of interrogation.

Even if they signed the agreement, the IOM would only share information of Thai Citizens holding accounts in the IOM, not foreigners, residing in Thailand, on the other hand Thailand would provide info of say all British citizens holding accounts in Thailand. The IOM will report accounts based on the passport the account was opened with, therefore British citizens, residing in Thailand with accounts in the IOM will be reported to the UK tax man

From KPMG: At present, Thailand can provide and exchange financial information upon the request by other countries through the exchange of information clause in double tax treaties.

I think your getting confused with "can provide" infomation and the OECD agreement where 51 countries (maybe more now) will automatically share mass data of bank accounts and personal details of each countries citizens who have signed the agreement

Thailand is not a signatory to this agreement currently to  automatically share mass data, but per the quote above will share info if so requested on specific individuals

Nope, i hold other cryptos, but no BTC..

very sad to hear that. I want to start making money on bitcoin, but such price hikes scare me away. So far, I earn playing the game MotoCoin. For a week earned 0.07 BTC without investments. Who is interested in how to make money without investment, use. For now I will think over to be engaged in it or not.

Now is the time to get into crypto, price swings are the way you make money.. buy low sell high as the saying goes, dont listen to the BS that BTC is going to zero or crypto business is finished..

does the below sound like an asset class which has run its course ?....the blockchain/crypto game is just getting started, plenty of money still to be made

''You're supposed to get your non-B (extension) revoked at the

immigration office where you do the extension with a termination

My question is if I can get my Non-B (extension) cancelled with a

termination letter at the airport before you leave the country.

 

Thank you.

Well if your supposed to do it at the immigration office where you do the extension, why are you asking can you do it at the airport then...your suppose to go to the to the immigration office then...

Given you mention extension, i assume extension of stay ?...ergo you dont have a B visa anyway

This just goes to show that there are other options just as good or better than Transferwise. In my experience, Transferwise sucks! A week and a half to complete a transfer!

All transferwise have done is copied the SWIFT model of nostro and vostro accounts in various countries and the fact is they dont transfer anything...its a messaging service thats all which pays out in the particular country from an account transferwise have, so the reality is, its costly time consuming local transfer

I just wanted to stay in Thailand and it was the only possible way at that time. For the last 2 years, I considered Elite visa or marriage visa which would be absolutely legal. Unfortunately, I was too lazy and underestimated the consequences. Overall Thai immigration policy gave me an illusion that it is not strict enough. 

Well done with respect to your honesty, the average farang on here would be blaming immigration or slagging off the Thai people, blaming everyone except themselves..

Probably some think of a nuclear facility only on the lines of producing electric power for the grid.

No the all knowing farang stated "nuclear facility"

The thai reasearch reactor is no different from a power generation reactor in all respects except scale only producing only 2MW,

while power generation reactors are typically 900MW and up

Maybe you should do some research of your own before jumping in.  The Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology has been running a research reactor in Bangkok since 1962, and another (the Onghharak Nuclear Research Centre) is currently under construction in Nakhon Nayok.  For many years the TINT one was the only one in this part of the world, with much of the medical and oil field radiation monitoring equipment in the region sent there for their mandatory periodical calibrations.  The UN trust it.  The IAEA trust it.  The people operating the equipment calibrated there (including myself back in the day) trust it, but a bunch of Thai bashers on an internet forum know better.

Is it great when some all knowing farang starts gobbing off about things they dont know about gets caught out and makes a fool of themselves
