He should be deported back to Poland and banned from the UK. Doubt he's ever paid any tax and has used a fortune in tax payers money.

British weather really isn't that bad. Never that cold and never that hot. Lots of beautiful countryside. Worth escaping at least for Jan-March although that's when Thailand has air so toxic most days that it's advised not to breathe. The spring and summer in the UK is pretty nice. The dream is splitting your time between various and getting to enjoy the best of many different places.

If they want to streamline immigration they should have e-gates like Malaysia. Has never taken more than 90 seconds to get through there. Thailand usually about 40 mins.

It's nearly 2bn a year the UK exports to Thailand. United Kingdom Exports to Thailand Value Year Machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers $605.29M 2023 Electrical, electronic equipment $287.88M 2023 Vehicles other than railway, tramway $161.17M 2023 Aluminum $85.84M 2023 Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins $82.65M 2023 Pulp of wood, fibrous cellulosic material, waste $69.08M 2023 Pharmaceutical products $66.83M 2023 Optical, photo, technical, medical apparatus $66.42M 2023 https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/exports/thailand

When there's children with 1 Thai parent and one non-Thai parent it's very pot luck and time consuming to decide what the child will be charged. Usually they'll go off how they look and if they look Thai enough.

The idea that Thailand isn't reliant on the West is crazy. Direct export to the west is huge with the US being the biggest partner by far, indirect export stuff like circuits that are used by China, Japan etc to then export to the west is also huge. https://oec.world/en/profile/country/tha

Should be a flat 10% tax like Bulgaria. The LTV working visa with it's flat tax of 17% is too high for what you get back in return.

I think she's got in trouble with working for Thai brands and companies while in Thailand. That's very much a grey area that the rules aren't clear on - especially for something as loosely defined as an influencer. Quite different to a digital nomad who works in Thailand and has no business with any Thai entities.

5 now dead. A Brit has died, 28 year old lawyer.

4 dead and 5 still on life support, all over a free shot. I can see this really hitting the tourism in SEA for years to come. Europeans and Aussies becoming aware of just how dangerous it can be over here and how appalling standards are.

The amount of people that actually split their time between 3 or more countries and never stay more than 180 days a year in one country is really really small. It's not what the CRS is set up for and it's not even a secondary focus, let alone a main focus. If you're a tax resident of nowhere and your home country doesn't have rules to claim it then that's not tax evasion.

Thailand should in theory have access to all your bank account information within CRS. Always keeping logs of where you spend days, days worked, money received is important regardless of if you have a Thai tax ID or not as banks or governments could ask for this info.

It's not a worldwide income thing. The UK doesn't claim your tax residency by default if you're a citizen and if you leave and pass the automatic non resident tests then you aren't taxed in the UK. As is the case in several countries. That won't be changing anytime soon as the newly elected government has just had its budget and has not changed this.

Just a youtuber discussing what we're all discussing here. Nothing new.

Yes. So that's not a tax resident of two places but a tax resident of nowhere. Easily done if you're from the UK. No so easy if you're Australian or American etc. Might cause some banking issues down the line, but if you don't stay anywhere long enough to become a tax resident then you don't pay tax on income.
