I'm'assume somebody important with important friends in important positions did not agree.
I'm'assume also that global taxation is dead in the water, for the same reasons.
Trump torpedoed the OECD.....The world tax is DEAD for now.....And Thailands OECD dreams are also DEAD.....And their whole new tax plan is in the ICU barely alive, ready to receive last rites.

Every single non smoker should be 100% for smoking rooms.....That will protect them from 2nd hand smoke.....
And besides most Asian airports DO HAVE smoking rooms...

If a product is of poor quality it will not be purchased again...If a product is high quality and of decent value it will be purchased again...
There you go....The market regulating itself....
Also they seem to have a thing about clothing.....About 80% 90% of the clothing on market is made out of synthetic polyester which is very well known to be bad for peoples health ....But this seems just fine to them....
You have to look HARD to find decent cotton clothing these days..

1 hour ago, Presnock said:I am unsure as top why expats continue to go to local offices when they have no real reason to go. Most answers we see are just that from local rd officers - no real idea, some say file and RD will figure up your taxable amount and they have no idea if you have assessable on non assessable income. I have read he RD notes, seen umptiump webinars and all basically say the same thing unless they want YOUR business. Very few of us I think will have any real problems this year until the RD gets all their folks on board and they put out the same story. Non-assessable income includes any income non-assessable due to exemption by DTA or exemption by Royal Decree or if there is some other exemption then non-assessable so nothing needs to be obtained from the local rd office. Once the tax season filling is over in April then believe the RD will look at the results and unless some folks wake up then the RD will be swamped by zero tax forms filed or if enough expats wake up, very few filed. Then the RD will probably look at remittances as provided by the local banks, and determine what least amount and above will get some kind of notice to proved the RD with ample evidence of exemptions. If people have their documents ready, then this should be easy notice I said should be easy but do not really have any idea about the RD folks in general. If however, I am targetted and the RD doesn't like my documentation even though the big exemptions are BOI LTR documents (visa) and DTA then I will contact the US Embassy and US State department that the RD is possibly violating the treaty with the US. I do wish only the best of luck for everyone in this tax season. I have always done exactly what is written in the tax laws of whatever country I have lived in (many!). If Thailand changes their tax laws to cancel the DTA then I would become concerned enough about the tax situation to possibly make other plans. I do hope the RD folks are intelligent enough to THINK about all the possibilities concerning the tax situations of the expats as well as their own folks.
Well on the other tax thread one guy had been to the tax office 4 yes 4 times because they would not give him a TIN and said he owed no taxes...
The guy could not let a sleeping horse lay.....And was desperate to pay taxes whether he owed them or not...

Not perhaps your wrong.......Your 100% wrong...And not real smart going to the tax office....
Of course they want to squeeze every last dollar out of you....Why would they want to help you?

totalling 590,000 baht. I thought my liability was 0 after allowing for the uk thai dta but she wouldn't entertain that or appear to know what I was talking about so I never even mentioned pre 2024 money as I had no supporting docs.Because my liability came to very little and to avoid a return trip and the hassle of providing docs. I just paid up.The whole experience was bizaare.Next year I won't exceed 590,000 baht in remittances which is eas[ly arranged to ensure no liability.
Good job you set a fine example for all the people who want to use the laws like DTAs to not pay taxes....And all you anti tax heathens..This post shows ,they would be more than happy to let you pay taxes even if you owe zero taxes...
Stop being so cheap....Dig deep in your pockets and pay up....Even if you owe nothing...
We need to start a I owed nothing and paid anyways thread....

Moving capitals seems to be a very fashionable thing to do these days, lots of countries are doing it or talking of doing it.....
Moving a capital has many purposes....
First you can be sure the new capital will be a smart city....Very highly controlled with mass surveillance every where....Which is the main purpose of moving a capital.....
Also insiders will be making a fortune with buying cheap land ahead of the move...Also loads of fat construction contracts for all for the right people with plenty of nice kickbacks for lawmakers....
Plus lawmakers do love shinny new things, payed for by the public....

Unlike yourself, and teenagers, I don't post for "likes" and "thumbs ups" etc etc.
I could be a sheep and post in a manner that is popular, to enhance my AN reputation, as you do, but that's not my motivation for posting. It's common with the herd mentality to join in on the attack of one member, so as to get everyone to enhance your AN reputation.
I post everything from facts, to my opinion, to examples, to predictions, to scenarios, and in between. Many times I supply a link.
You post your way, I post my way, but I don't care about my AN reputation.
Do yourself, and the forum a favor and put me on your ignore list. It allows the rest of to discuss issues uninterrupted by your BS.
I could be a sheep and post in a manner that is popular, to enhance my AN reputation,
Your reputation on this forum is about as low as it get especially regarding financial matters.....My advice is to stick to the who has the best pizza threads and you might be ok.....

This fellow is getting more and more entertaining in each video.
It's like one of our reptilian overlords living on a secret base on the dark side of the moon, assessable only via stargate behind the Antarctic ice wall, ran a cloning operation that merged a flat earf'er with a creationist, resulting in a sovereign citizen.
"But officer, I'm not driving, I'm traveling! And this is not a motor vehicle, it's my conveyance, my personal property not in commerce, traveling from A to B. And you don't have personal jurisdiction over this flesh and blood, standing on the earf', lower case name not affiliated with the all-caps entity shown on that arrest warrant. I want a supervisor. NOW. So is this an Article 3 detention? Are you coercing me under common law or maritime law? Hey! You can't taze me!"
Yea well this guy is the only one that calls a spade a spade....And he is quite happy to call out all the phony money grubbing tax advisor frauds in lots of videos in this thread..

32 minutes ago, CallumWK said:Yes it contradicts your scaremongering and conspiracy theories, as it is clearly mentioned in the video that there is NO mention from immigration or IRS that a tax return will be needed.
At the beginning of the video is mentioned that is friend was told by a lone IO, who just voiced his OWN opinion.
KhunHeineken has nothing to backup his fear mongering but he sure does like to repeat it over and over and over page after page after page...

I posted the video because he read the Thai Law.
I wouldn't post a video that had opinion only in it.
I don't care what guys on youtube say, or Somchai at the TRD says.
I'll be getting an agent to file, and then rest easy.
Unfortunately, it appears many are not getting the correct advice from Somchai.
If only it was that simple. We could all remit say, 3 million baht for living expenses and just simply say to Somchai, "It's not assessable."
Ohhhh, we are all going to need it.
There will be twists, turns, tweaks, and back flips. They will make a lot of it up on the fly. Also, this tax policy will evolve. 2025 is just the start.
They know they are onto a new revenue stream with this money spinner, and I just can't see it being as easy as saying, "My remittances are non assessable." I have a feeling they are going to want proof of source.
Well you said it again....I would say its time for you to join Mike Lister on the MIA list......

Why do you think I should be banned?
Soon after this tax policy was announced, many could see the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way for the Thai government to ensure compliance was using their immigration laws. It was obvious then, and is obvious now.
Why do you think it's soooooooo left field that just discussing it is scaremongering?
This guy sums it up quite well. He states any government official can ask for whatever documents the want.
The next time you mention this your going in the dog house.....Give it a rest......A loooooooong long rest...

If this comment should come true then it's the end for me and I do mean the end, I have lived here happily for the last 17 years, now all of a sudden living here is full of fear, I'm sure I am not alone, I do have the 800k, I do have 65k per month but only just because of the exchange rate, I have small savings, I can not produce money out of thin air.
I have no where else to go, if things turn bad then sadly I would have to take the easy way out, I'm 68 so maybe 10 yrs left anyway.
I don't bring in much via 3 pensions under 1 million per annum, I pay tax in the UK, 4 times the tax office has refused me a TIN number saying " you don't need to pay tax as you pay in the UK"
Can I worry anymore than I do already? Reading the comments within this thread, yes I can!!
Sir I wish Quaaludes were still available because you could sure use some....
No need to go crazy worrying......Vast numbers of expats are not worried in the slightest....
And please stop going to the tax office....Thats nonsense..
