Street Vendors in Bangkok Encouraged to Sign Up for Tax Registration
Ben Zioner replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Any government need revenue but IMHO the step taken should be as follows: a) Ruthlessly stamp out corruption (bring in consultants from Singapore), b) Reduce the underground economy from 50% GDP to 20% (this is what this thread is about), c) Introduce a flat Income Tax, adjust the VAT rate, Tax wealth and assets, d) Redistribute some of the revenue to the poorest (not a 10K handout). Meanwhile, someone would have to find means to revitalise the economy. Anyhow if I could see this happen (a Sigaporean/Korean future for my girls) I'd be glad to pay IT, otherwise I'll avoid the punishment within legal limits and let the kids chose between the 30 countries where the can have a life. -

Well, when you perform you won't be treated as plodder, simple. But let's get back to need to have a robust health cover for those who want to retire to Thailand. I was saying it must be part of the very early planning.

Yes, very similar to my UN plan. I paid another 150 for my daughter.

"May", dunno about you, but I kept my last job for over 23 years, and the pension qualified me for LTR/WP. There is a time to to move around, a time to settle down, and a time to retire. For my generation at least.
