The Cyclist

😀😀😀😀 Yes, because all the career Political Class, throughout the Western World are doing such a sterling job ( Of sending their respective Countries into the gutter )

I wonder how many times this has been posted https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a80bddc40f0b623026953eb/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf @mikebell If you want to really get into the nitty-gritty, somewhere on the UKGov website is a big list of all the pensions that are considered Government Pensions.

I know that feeling 😀😀 And I only found out when the ATM spat out a load of 500's instead of 1000's

This is Government water, right ? How much do you spend on drinking water ? I must spend at least a 1500 a month on drinking & cooking water. And how much for toiletries / houshold cleaning stuff / clothes washing detergent & fabric softener ? If it works for you, well done, but I think your budget breakdown is actually very limited in what it covers and gives a false impression.

I also do not believe that these forms are being filled in correctly. As I posted somewhere back in the thread. Part 2 ( I think ) is giving you the opportunity to declare your overseas income remitted to that KBank Account, as in my case XXXX Baht / Government Pension / NI Number. A nice closed, easily checkable loop for CRS purposes.

Actually, it was to conceal his beliefs, in order to wreak havoc and chaos. Every single Infidel that has worked in the Muslim world has been subjected to Taqqiya, in some form or other.

I do It's called Taqqiya in the Muslim world.

Banks will not ' assume ' they know whether you remit money from abroad

Don't worry Musk probably has a thick folder of past posts on Twitter / X, and another folder full of photos involving Epstein. If Trump authorises the appointment, Mandelson will be a compliant little boy.

Overseas income would be the wrong terminology. But it would be the correct terminology for most expats living legally in Thailand, as Thai tax residents. CRS is primarly for the avoidance and detection of tax evasion / avoidance across the borders of Countries signed up to CRS. If you do not move money across its borders it doesnt really apply. Just like CRS does not apply to the majority of Thai Citizens. I wouldn't like to try and speculate what any secondary functions CRS data could be used for.

Then if you are not remitting income from overseas, through any means whatsover, then the CRS forms sent out by KBank do not apply to you. Just keep filing your taxes as you have been doing previously.

What did you expect to happen the day after the deadline ? I wouldn't really expect anything to happen until tax filing season closes at the end of March. Possibly then, when things start being consolidated, things will start to happen.

I once forced myself to live on Baht 40,000 for a month, just for the experience, and this was over a decade ago. As a single man, it was not for me. Nowadays,I have a very good life on less than Baht 40,00 a month, which does not include discretionary spending like hotels, road trips, holidays. But does include the daily running of a 4 bedroom house and 2 x cars. Is Baht 20,000 a month doable, probably, but not for me.

Are you filing taxes in Thailand as a full time resident of Thailand ? If not, someone is going to start asking questions as to what sources of money / income you are living on.

Yes, it did. But the speed of decline has increased with the advent of W.
