Rampant Rabbit

ive got a  great idea, give everyone 100000000000000000 baht to spend free

Another load of  uneccsary crap from the owners of the tollways, Wife has  "easy pass "used it for years, went thru an "Mpass"  lane assuming it was the same.....nope, fine 300 baht, why the hell they need two stupid systems beats me, bit like the new improved updated yet again <deleted> tm 30 online rubbish, that failed after it was introduced for  about 10  months, when it finally worked it was ok.........but oh no way too easy  lets do another one and lets not transfer over the data. they go out of their ways to foook things up in Thailand...no way they will ever  get a  income  tax things to work, they coudln t organise a pee  up in a brewery..done see u in 12  months

Being as everyones hitting their  pants , how about  a  tax  avoidance  topic? all those smart Alecs  telling us if we  dont  know how to avoid any new tax  rules give us  your avoidance tips here. Sticking to just avoidance only and nowt else would help, not 200 pages of morality etc. Tax is a  game nothing more and even more of a  game in Thailand.

That project has been underway for a while now. Hua Hin is building a new gigantic train station. Funds are Chinese I believe. It's pretty obvious the train will go from Vientiane to the Malaysia through Thailand. Great project for the region. Much needed based on my train experiences here !

Nah thats just an upgrade to dual tracks so slow trains dont have to stop to let another pass in certain areas, its  all narrow  guage also if you go and look at it.

I  spent 40 years in construction using just these, the amount of crap they sucked up before failing was incredible also the hoses dont break like many vacuums ive seen in thailand https://thaismegp.com/product/61dbe67d2b3aa382ba09f3a2

It's gonna be great. The train that China build in Laos is pretty amazing. Thailand could greatly benefit.

What would be great right now is if China was  serious  would be to tell Taiwan, were  sorry we  will stop all activity concerning your  nation and will also stop demanding the S China sea.....this would  have incredible repurcussions round the world and bring massive stability and give them some decent credibility, way more than the constant crap they spew out.

That quote comes from the Thai Revenue Department  DTA document. Their use of the word "residents" (note, plural, not resident) in the first sentence is descriptive and not intended to be a term or proper name, it is meant to differentiate between people who remain here for long periods and those who visit as tourists. The documents second use of the words "Thai resident" should read, Thai tax resident (or similar). But the document does go on to qualify and define, the term Thai Tax Resident and the criteria needed to become tax resident, eg, more than 180 days so all the information is there. In your defense, the term Resident and Tax Resident should both have been capitalised but weren't. 

 

The DTA applies to persons who are residents of the Contracting States. In order to be classified as a Thai resident and be entitled to treaty benefits, a person must be one of the following:

- An individual who stays in Thailand for a period or periods exceeding in the aggregate 180 days in a tax year;

- A juristic person who is incorporated under the Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand.

 

 

Thanks......confusing as ever  Ill do what Ive alwsys done with tax  depts worldwide......tell them as  little  as  possible.

Yes to the more than 180 day part.

 

They are different names already, one is resident, the other is tax resident or resident for tax purposes, you have to pay close attention to the wording.

 

Correct to No income into Thailand part.

 

As for the rest of what you wrote, you worry too much and your imagination is far too vivid, relax, it will be OK.

 

FWIW I think everyone should stop trying to second guess this and worry needlessly. Thailand has a solid track record of announcing new things before they've been thought through fully, once they have, at a later date, what is implemented will make sence and be logical.

 

 

Yes I do get it, but again 180 days = resident but should i rewrite that as TAX resdient, theres a  discrepancy in some wording in a previous  post I think it should say tax  resident not resident, ok its here in your  reply below

Ok so 180days = "resident " according to the above qoute you posted? ( no mention being a  tax  resisdent in that, though i accept i would be) but the above staes I would then be resident?

I see a  world where EVERYTHING you do is watched / checked /monitored its quickly going that way, the abandoment of  cash the introduction of technology in cars to control the vehicles speed even to stop you using it at certain times of day is virtually already there and peoples  willingness to accept it, the  "if youve nothing to hide people" until a mistake  happens, its way past  Orwellian already. Thankfully Ill be dead by the times its  all done and dusted.

Thanks, that's a hugely important piece of information as it would seem to mean that any income covered by the Double Taxation Agreement/Treaty that has been tax assessed/paid in your home country would not incur any additional Tax in Thailand.

 

 

 

Thats was my take on it  but maybe not.

Not trying to be pedantic here but a resident of Thailand and a resident of Thailand for tax purposes are not the same. Someone here on a long stay visa is not a resident of Thailand, only a Thai citizen or a person who has been granted residency can be a Thai resident.

Yes Thanks I do know that, its  all rather unclear in almost every sense of the wording. How  about the contracting state part?
