Last year at CM (not BKK), copy of TM30 was asked for when extending non-O permission to stay.

Not how tornados work.

I have heard slightly different versions from different volunteers and IOs about how dates are calculated (this is CM immigration). To be absolutely safe, stick to 800K for 3.5 months pre and post. (This is not OP's situation, but many foreigners do keep 800K year round to avoid the hassle despite low interest rates.)

Yes to file a new TM30 preemptively when you come back in, ASAP. It will save you a lot of headaches.

Malaysia is relatively benign. Unfortunately this is not the forum to discuss details, but you are obviously on top of the tax issues.

Risks: floods, storm damage and power disruption.

Malaysia, Philippines and as of now Cambodia

Right ..... Good luck to your tax planning.

It is possible. However most people would want to get out of tax residency. To intentionally get into double or multiple tax residency status to choose which country to pay tax to is a very novel idea. Perhaps it exists in a handful of combinations.

Where did you get this concept? Residence falls on one side or another, and DTAs have clauses to decide residence.

Saw the video. Did the man drive dangerously? Yes. Did the boy (RIP) ride dangerously? Yes. I don't know how much to blame either party. Almost killed a woman on a motorbike once. She swerved into my lane (right, fast) to make a James Bond style u-turn. Slammed the brakes and just missed hitting her bike.

DTAs do not work this way. Both Contracting States (at residence/domicile and at source) will have a right to tax (save for exemptions, limitations, non-discrimination or other clauses). The resident has no right to select which country he pays tax to. At best he can claim tax credit under the particular DTA to prevent Double Taxation by both Contracting States.

Spokesperson must have breathed a sigh of relief.

How in the world did the contamination affect so many brands? One manufacturer?

I agree. Here, they plant banana, just a token amount, to get around the taxes.

RIP. And don't smear the Thai lifeguards. They did everything they could and rescued the boy.

Lessons from the Politico article about Belgium's new tax law. There is a chance that the new Thai scheme will tax more than that, e.g. capital gains. Thailand should consider not just the short-term, top-line revenue gains but all the consequences.

First, I want to show my appreciation for what you did on AN about tax issues. Second, a reaction doesn't have to be binary (no reaction or full on panic). Look at options and find ways to get around the iceberg.

It's new for Thailand, and there are options around it in nearby countries.

could you give a link for your source?

Worldwide basis of taxation also comes in 2 flavors: 1. Assessable income inbound. 2. Assessable income worldwide. The comment attributed to the RD official is of the second variety.

Please also note that pensions may be exempt under Thai Double Taxation Agreements. Check your particular DTA.

Those girls work on a pure cash basis in Korea, which has tight currency export oversight. You mean to say most foreigners are in the same boat?

You think those girls will ever pay tax? Who knows what they earn?

This is a small slice of the labor market (come back >180 days).
