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.

I can agree with that. Go woke, go broke springs to mind.

Indeed I did, but that would be for a different topic and I am trying to stick to facts. Which was £12 Billion given to Africa for Climate Change Crap. If they had asked me, as a UK tax payer what I thought of giving £12 Billion of taxpayers money to Africa for Climate Change Crap. A Mike Tyson impression would have ensued, whilst chanting China, US, Russia, India and Japan. Before the final haymaker was delivered, the person might just hear the words ' Dont talk to me about Climate Change Crap ' Anyway

The breakdown consists of 1. The £10 Billion given to the NHS in pay rises 2. £12 Billion to Africa for Climate Change Crap. That £22 Billion was just an initial down payment, the taxpayer will be adding to that on an annual basis, how high it goes is anyones guess.

It's a mantra that cannot be changed That mantra consists of 1. 14 years of Tories 2. Black holes 3. Fixing Foundations 4. Taking tough decisions ( Which always gives me a good chuckle ) And a few others that I now forget. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/budget-has-caused-economy-to-stagnate-bank-of-england-says-vbmr7gf6d Back to the 70's here we come.

A poser to ponder 😀😀 If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, add inheritance to family farms and family businesses, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, spaff £22bn of taxpayers' money on carbon capture machines, give £12 billion of taxpayers' money to Africa for climate change, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, pledge a 20% cut in meat & dairy and get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn't have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here. With thanks to Anon.

This should really go in the Budget thread, but it is apposite here as a.measure of the horse manure spouted pre GE by Starmer in particular and Labour in General 1. Growth 2. Fixing the foundations of the economy 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Some of the Politburo are not happy with the Dear Leader https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/18/up-to-100-labour-mps-could-vote-against-waspi-payout-refusal He might need to employ a food taster.

Manifesto's are worthless. Hence there is currently a push to make them legally binding. Now that would be worth voting for.

It cannot be long before any Pro-Labour agendas are put to the side. Here is Rachel from Customer Complaints A Labour Minster by the name of Tulip Siddiqi and her family, are currently under investigation for their part in £4 Billion worth of bribes related to a Nuclear Power Plant. Clear and transparent Keir will get to the bottom of it and it will be move along, nothing to see here.
