Never heard of superannuation funds?

Yet another trail of faeces...

Maybe too many unbelievers.

But this is some doubt though..

Ok, I'll answer without making any comment about your IQ. a) To pay out a new "negative" tax tax to the poor they will have to collect more "positive" tax form the rich[er]. b) Expats [will] pay income tax as of January 1, 2024. c) Once the "negative income tax' takes effects foreigners will pay even more.

Bear in mind that to redistribute more one has to collect even more.

You'd better double check whether that's ok. Think I have read here that Thailand Elite had warned against that a few years ago.

I a pleased to read that you volunteer to donate a fair share of your hard earned cash to some useless sala bum, who has never tried to secure a decent job. And that while the local super rich are taking a sizeable "commission" on everything you "donate". Be the meat in sandwich if you wish.

Dunno was your pic with USD figures is meant to prove, but anyway, you'd have to factor in local [real] inflation and exchange rates.

Yep, absolutely. And don't remit any pre 2024 income this year. Or as long as you can. But are RD are aware of the weakness of the "remittance tax" and might rush in a botched, nightmarish "global income tax".

Don't give a boomboom, right now I am in Langkawi where I get for THB 230 the wine I pay 570 in Thailand. I love Malaysia, it's people and their variety, more and more. If the Thais eff me with income tax I'll spend that amount enjoying this great nation six months a year.

Doesn't need a book. A one A$ ToDo list would probably remove all doubts. But BOI, who otherwise are excellent people to deal with, consider that it is up to the RD to provide those instructions, which would than be posted on their website.

I like French, there are so many ways to call Arabs. PM me if you are interested.

"Section 6 A foreigner who is entitled to benefits under Section 3, Section 4, and Section 5 must meet qualifications and comply with rules, procedures, and conditions as prescribed by the Director-General of the Revenue Department. Section 7 In the case that a foreigner has applied tax reduction or exemption under this Royal Decree, and later does not comply with rules prescribed in Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 in any tax year, benefits will be suspended in that tax year." That's what we know, but IMHO it could mean that if you omit to file a tax return the LTR exemption doesn't apply for the relevant year.

Luxurious ? not. According to the Noblemaire principle, our benefits are aligned with the best civil service among member states, namely the US. It is true that there is a good proportion of UN and US civil service retiree holding LTR/WP visas. But I am just as puzzled as everyone else by this TT (Thai Thriumph). And don't be jealous..

Actually I don't know yet. But it may be worth to err on the side of caution, as they will apply full taxation for every year where you didn't "follow the rule(s)". And as this is Thailand they see benefit in not spelling our the rule(s).

Yes that's the way to go. If they mess up the LTR that is. For older guys like me two 90 days stays in Malaysia with a trip somewhere in between should be doable. 179 days in Isaan with the family will be appreciated. So even Bumrungrad would have to do without my money as I'd do all my medical stuff in KL. for medical care will be

Good idea, have all your holidays abroad. The money you spend there isn't taxed yet. I am off to Malaysia next week.

Denial, there is a lot of is when it comes to this tax business.

Sure, but can't do without though,

Not occupation, I'd call it joint administration between Tsahal and elected leaders in each subdivision. Higher level decisions for concerning the whole strip made at meetings in Tel Aviv, possibly Jerusalem would "look" better. And IMHO this would have to last for a couple of decades. That's all from my brain only, of course. BTW occupation will be needed in Southern Lebanon, again, as Hezbollah have claimed their share of the killing..

The Gaza operation wasn't well planned. Even now there are no signs of the indispensable sub division of the zone to establish a durable post war control. IMO the early military operation should have established such tight division into four to six sub-regions.

Well, they are in the process of criminalising looking at women without their written consent.

They all want to vote for the guy who got his supporters to try to destroy American Democracy...

Even in the US?
