Another tool goes to revenue department to ask questions. Revenue departments confirms for the millionth time foreigners who don't work in Thailand don't have to pay tax.

 

If you really want to pay tax, just file a tax return and give them money. Leave the rest of us ALONE.

not often I agree with Celsius but this time I think he is 100% on the ball. Well said indeed. 

  This issue is similar to covid in so much that some people have become consumed  by anxiety and have made some rather strange decisions as a result,  the same people are desperate to convince others to behave in the same way as them in an attempt to validate their own behaviour.

        like those who got all stroppy over people not wearing masks outdoors or when alone in a car, jail time was called for , but the same people had no issues taking masks off to eat    

         A rumour starts, ostensibly from the "authorities"  and a small group of "sheeple" do the rest without even being asked.

         My worry is that these fools have now created a self fulfilling prophecy,  The revenue department must be getting overwhelmed by all these strange farangs desperate to pay them money, It wont be long before they start accepting it.

According to the uneducated medical conspiracy promoters who bombard the forum with their imagined scenarios it is possible. Most likely the person has a cold and not influenza.

i reckon its covid,

Youngsters under 23 years, shouldn't take any drugs including alcohol, as their brains aren't fully developed.

rubbish

is this "shock horror " story the start of the latest anti cannabis campaign by state sponsored media?    Can we expect some sort of announcement from the authorities soon?

IDP's in the UK still need to be obtained in person (a real PITA) from 'PayPoint' Stores.

My nearest was in the middle of the most squalid council estate I have ever seen

The IDP (and presumably English language foreign licence) is valid for one year, I believe, so beyond that, I assume failure to secure a Thai licence would be equivalent to driving without a lience.

My last IDP was valid for 3 years, something to do with brexit apparently,  but they are no longer issued at the post office,

Of held in your country on or before 31st Dec 2023 no tax to pay. If you bought here 1st Jan 2024 or after yes your interest is a possible tax liability.  And yes there are deductions, if you over 70, married to a thai, kids, but please go talk without giving your name and see the two female bosses at the 2 tax offices one in chalong and the other phuket town. They are ok, I've been twice just to get more info..

I thought the age related deductibles started at 65.   You should visit again and try to speak with a male

How is this different than Europe, except limit is €100.000?

The main difference will quickly become apparent when somebody ( especially a foreigner ) tries to recover any money due to a collapsed bank.

Nonesense. This will open up another can of worms where scammer working with a victim/potential scammer to get reimbursement from a bank and then split the profits. I envisage this will increase the e-scam businesses. 

 Spot on ! and I personally envisage the emergence of a plethora of even more useless regulations that will only  make life more difficult for the average honest person whilst having no negative side effects whatsoever for the professional scammers who will soon find a way to circumnavigate their way around what for them will be  minor inconveniences

.  

How on earth is this ever going to happen.   The power wielded by these companies and institutions is far greater than anything the government can come up with.

By the time you're posting here, you'll be living in Thailand. Think how you'd be feeling if Thai people were proclaiming their support for a political party that blamed immigrants for all their problems...

What are you talking about?  All the political parties here have a healthy disdain for foreigners , have you not yet noticed that nationalism and patriotism mixed in with a bit of xenophobia is pretty much written into the constitution here

     Immigrants here get their fair share of flack , are regularly criticised in the media and often held responsible for Thailand's problems, who could forget the "dirty farang" comments made by Anutin during covid ? Plus they can ever own land and are subject to countless often pointless regulations.

     This is actually how things should be done, a good example of a country not tainted by wokeness......yet
