Calling the Trump tax cuts “tax cuts for the wealthy” has always been total nonsense. It comes down to, which is more? 5% of 50,000 or 2% of 500,000? The latter is more in absolute terms, even though the percent is larger on the first value. But saying tax rates are lower on the second is just dishonest. If the tax cuts expire (and they should, it’s the best option) then watch how fast the narrative shifts to describing it as a tax increase on everybody. Nobody will even mention “the rich.”

NEW payment system- Tagthai
Everyman replied to CharlieH's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
This app looks completely pointless. Why would I want convert foreign currency into some crappy card? If it worked like WeixinPay or Alipay in China where you can link it to a foreign credit card, that would be useful. Although the foreign bank tends to freak out and it requires a few phone calls to explain what is going on. -
Sorry about your experience. It seems consistent with the experiences of others in that there is no consistency from TRD and one should stay away from them if at all possible. It especially dumb in the case of long term resident visas because these are supposed to be the “high quality foreigners” that Thailand is looking for. Im outside the Kingdom at the moment but judging from the news there’s been general change of sentiment and Thais are really turning against foreigners in general.

My BKK Bank account is registered to a phone number that is also registered to me. I have not received any such notification. I am overseas at the moment, outside Thailand. -

Problems with submitting Tax Return

The dozens of phishing emails in my spam email box say the same thing. Should I be concerned? Oh uh I’m worried now -
Problems with submitting Tax Return

Enough is enough people; the whole tax thing was clearly a scam by unscrupulous tax lawyers to drum up business. TRD tells you that, why insist? People must be so bored and gullible. -
Pension Tax Filing Report - Rejected

Doing things “by the book” in Thailand seems like it should insulate you from unforeseen hardships, but I think that’s too optimistic. Let’s face it, the common populace doesn’t behave that way, for a reason. It’s not just laziness or something, it’s a knowledge that doing things that way can actually backfire. -
They’re not that clever. Reports are that the Thai revenue department’s approach to the myriad of dual tax agreements, is to ignore them. Best to stay off their radar.

There’s no way to tell if it will work on China. Just be prepared for the worst. As far as outside China, it absolutely will not work outside China unless you have a Chinese ID card (meaning you are a chinese) I am very surprised you were able to register at all for WeChat outside China. I could only do so once I was in China,

Nobody uses the website banking apart from geriatrics. The phone app is more secure and useful. -

Have you ever heard the expression “no good deed goes unpunished?” I think you’re making a hassle for yourself for no good reason.
