The Cyclist

You really are clueless, aren't you. The UK paid £750 million to France to stop the boats. Seems to be working a treat as the numbers for 2025 are at record levels. Anyone with a functioning brain, would understand that the EU have no intention of stopping the Gimmegrants reaching the UK. Stand by for an earth shattering revelation. The EU don't want the Gimmegrants either. There is not a snowballs chance in hell of them trying to stop them reaching the UK. What downturn ? Was the Chancellor not just singing the praises of an 0.8% growth in GDP ? Who is lying. You or the Chancellor ?

You can interpret whatever, in which ever manner you wish. No-one, especially not me, is arguing against certain incomes only being taxable in home Country. This is a fact. My contention, yet again, is that foreigners, who are Thai tax residents comply with the Revenue code. Section 40 TRD Black and white according to Thai Tax Law. Pensions are assessable income. By dint of an International Agreement some forms are pensions are not taxable in Thailand as they are only taxable in Home Countries. Just as some Pensions will not be subject to Thai tax, depending on tax already paid in Home Country.

Only happens in my view ? What have Labour achieved in the last year 1. Record numbers of Illegal Immigrants 2. Unemployment heading up 3. National Debt heading up 4. Interest on the National Debt heading up. 5. increased hatred in the Labour Party. * Pensioners * Farmers * The disabled * Actual workers * Fishermen The only people happy with Labour are Illegal Gimmegrants.

And that highlights the major failings of the sycophants. They do not even know the difference between the EU and Europe. This was discussed months ago, but is as pertinent to this thread as it was to that one It is only 13,000 will come the cry. Yebbut..... Oops https://www.thetimes.com/uk/education/article/private-school-exodus-of-13000-dwarfs-ministers-predictions-sm6pf5qv5 Everything Labour touches..... Turns to horse manure.

On what planet are 30 or 35 year olds considered " Youths " ?

The idiocy of pontificating about curbing immigration and then signing a deal that could allow millions into the UK, clearly passed you by.

Sure Just like the 3 million that were supposed to be in the UK that morphed into 6.5 million. Procrastinate all you like. It is mentalism at its finest to shout about curbing migration, then sign up to a youth mobility scheme. That will no doubt be utilised by all the newly minted EU Citizens, that have arrived in the EU in the last decade or so. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your gross naivety and stupidity.

No No No All is whities were born with silver spoons in our gobs. We wouldn't know what graft is.

It might have escaped your notice, but both Starmer and Labour have been making loud noises about reducing legal migration. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/11/will-labours-immigration-changes-make-a-clean-break https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/12/uk-labour-government-toughens-immigration-plans-as-far-right-gains-support So how youth mobility of potentially millions of EU people into the UK can be seen as a positive absolutely defies belief. It takes a special kind of mentalism to miss the irony, the blatant lies, and the utter cluelessness of the current Government.

And Thai Domestic Policy / Law applies to all foreigners that stay more than 180 days in a tax year. That you have " Exempt income / only taxable in XX Country " by dint of a DTA / Specific Visa / other is separate from Domestic Tax Policy Law. The RD will work on the legalities of what is written in the tax code, what is written in DtA's / Visas / others is secondary. If, I repeat if, they come knocking at your door.

That has never been in dispute. DTA's do not mention " Assessable Income " The reason for that is simple. " Assessable Income " is a term specific to Thai Domestic Tax Policy / Law. A DTA is an International Agreement, totally separate from Thai Domestic Tax Law / Policy. I also understand what has been happening for the past 15 years and how many would come to that view. What happened in the past ( Where nobody cared less ) is not an indication of how things will continue in the future. The 2 must be seen as seperate entities. * An International agreement * Thai Domestic Tax Policy / Law, which now applies to anyone who spends 180 days or more in Thailand in a tax year.

See my post above, copied here The UK and the EU have agreed to co-operate further on a "youth experience scheme" - but this will be subject to further negotiations British holidaymakers will be able to use e-gates at more European airports - although it is not yet clear when this will come into force Meanwhile, National Farmers’ Union president Tom Bradshaw says it was not yet clear what UK rules and regulations would have to be aligned with the EU’s.' The UK, at this stage, has not got anything in return.

UK fisherman do not appear to agree with you. I wonder who would know best, You or UK Fishermen. Here is the reality of what you and Labour think is a good deal The UK and the EU have agreed to co-operate further on a "youth experience scheme" - but this will be subject to further negotiations British holidaymakers will be able to use e-gates at more European airports - although it is not yet clear when this will come into force Meanwhile, National Farmers’ Union president Tom Bradshaw says it was not yet clear what UK rules and regulations would have to be aligned with the EU’s.' SKS has made solid concessions concerning continued fishing access for 12 years' in exchange for well, further talks. At a glance the optics look terrible, which is one of capitulation to the EU. In plain English, it means been shafted sans lube * And that has no relation to alleged rent boys.

Because the EU's fishing grounds have been raped to death and they needed access to UK waters. A sensible person would have identified the Kerching moment swimming about in UK fishing waters and said - Let's talk about a deal where we sell you fish.

Could you list some of those damages ? Are you talking about the UK electorate after the last GE. Not much left in the UK that are not united in their utter disdain and disgust at Starmer and the Labour Party.

Decisions decisions 😀😀

Hold my beer, I'll show you an even better one 😀😀 Somebody who couldn't nderstand 2 Sentences 😀😀

Come back with something that is more up to date than January 2024 from an EU supporting news outlet.

Drugs ? £9billion by 2040 😀😀 that doesn't even cover the current cost of the Illegals. Starmer in a nutshell

Yes, I quite agree, which is why I also shut it down yesterday.

Indeed This sums it up rather well

Just read the above sentence again. Sure. DTA's will exempt certain incomes from Thai Taxation. What DTA's do not do. Is exempt you from complying with Thai Domestic Tax Policy / Law if you are a Thai Tax Resident. And we all know what the thresholds are for filing a tax return. I can fully accept that the term " Assessable income " is currently as clear as mud. A DTA does not state that XX income is considered " Non Assessable Income " under Thai Tax Law. They normally state only taxable in XX Country. Despite what happened for years and decades. The term " Only Taxable in XX Country " has never meant " Non Assessable " in Thailand.

Your understanding is wrong ( IMO ) You are confusing 2 things. 1. Thai Domestic Tax Policy / Law 2. And International Bilateral Agreements ( DTA's ) To put it simply If you are a Thai Tax Resident, you are subject to Thai Domestic Tax Policy / Law. File as per the laid down threshold limits as laid down here. https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/download/english_form/2024/GUIDE_91_67_Complete.pdf An International Agreement ( DTA ) will exempt / limit you from thai Taxes under certain circumstances, dictated by Individual DTA's.

Why would they implement change, then try to make other changes, announced today, when they could just shut up and quietly drop it later, or even publicly, just come out and say the whole thing including Por 191 / 192 is cancelled ? It is because the driver is the OECD, and not Thailand. And the only way the can drop it / bin the whole thing is to withdraw from the tentacles of the OECD.

Sure, I can accept the above. I can also see that global / worldwide taxation is being driven by the OECD. I don't believe that Thailand would be entertaining any of these tax changes, if it wasn't for the OECD.
