Air tickets, revisited:
Buying a ticket out of Thailand to the US and paying with my foreign CC may or may not be a remittance, this has been discussed extensively, at least 3 times. So please don't start this discussion again.
What if someone else, living abroad, pays with their foreign CC? I wouldn't even have to reimburse them, they owe me money.
IIRC, this also has been discussed a long time ago, and the answer was,
- in the UK, HMRS would consider this a remittance
- in Thailand, probably too
- this would effectively mean all tickets out of Thailand are taxed, and someone recommended to fly to a neighboring country first, and buying the long-haul ticket there
Do I remember correctly?
