  1. I understand the meaning of the word remittance. What I don't understand is that you are telling me as a tax resident if someone on-shore transfers 800k into my account that would not be considered reportable and taxable income.
  2. If they are scrutinizing income, 800k passing through an account would be notable, remittance or not. or so one would think...
  3. <deleted>, but having that 800k pass through your account for 15 minutes does raise some interesting questions relating to the new income tax policies
  4. There is often a charge for the first year as well.
  5. I had one under duress and never returned.
  6. Slang exists, people use it. Language develops over time, each generation adds words while traditionalists, gatekeepers of language, and dullards of your ilk squeal that it's inappropriate. Its you that is wrong, nobody cares whether you, personally, see humour or don't. We are too busy moving forward.
  7. ah, a woman to match your personal mythology
  8. No, not reading the news article and making crass remarks about the unfortunate and now dead -- that's stupidity. Inferring it was not a tragedy and that they deserved it makes you a turd of the highest order. You are also unbearably smug and entitled to assume that even if they were in the back of the pickup, they had any say in the matter. Safety ranks fairly low on the hierarchy of needs of people with limited opportunities and income -- when someone tells you to get in the truck or miss your chance to work, you get in the truck
  9. Same as weed. Watch them legalize it without any forethought or finding a way to tax it.
  10. Always figured you for a swallower.
  11. describes my experience at a Thai university for a few years when I first arrived in the late late late 90's 15 hrs a week of class time, plus the summer off with pay all for 35k per month all in. I doubled that or more with another 3-5 hours of public lessons each week in the evenings I arranged my classes so I worked three days per week and between us, the foreign teachers signed each other in on days we were off-site. During the summer the lower-level Thai teachers would sign the foreign and senior teachers in so we could travel. Sadly that became problematic in my final year before I joined the corporate world. At the ripe age of 25, it was a brilliant gig while it lasted. As I understand it, English teachers don't get paid all that much more now.
  12. Then find soemwhere else to live ffs.
  13. I have been very close to a coffee vendor and a pair of noodle sellers who used to operate outside my front door until someone recently chased them up the block. They were wonderful neighbors for nearly 15 years, even keeping my driveway swept and helping feed my cat when I traveled. They work incredibly hard. It pains me to think some poorly thought-out arbitrary policy change will cost two families their living.
  14. Thanks for the buring insight. We have been waiting for a poster like you with the vision and expertise to set the record straight and raise the tone of the site. You are here not a moment too soon! you have also come to the right place, it is a topic many here hold near and dear to their hearts.
  15. a sheltered existence indeed.
  16. Its not a bank account. its a fund administered by BlackRock. did you not read the page you linked to?
  17. what more do you need to hear? Its a fund not a deposit account, Like any investment of that sort, that comes with a risk
  18. look at you mansplaining the obvious. what a crock 'o nonsense. Call it what you want, it fails to be funny.
  19. But it isn't funny in the least. There are plenty of oasis parodies that are. liam gallahger is too much of an asshat not to mock, but this is lame as <deleted>
  20. however shall we cope?
  21. Sponsored content need not be generic waffle
  22. The first and most important step to saving money on quality cannabis is to avoid cannabis purchasing advice written by AI
  23. what does your asinine diet have to do with the question the OP asked? Oh, that's right, NOTHING. but lets talk about you.
  24. Of course she did. They should have given her some chocolates and left her alone for 2 hours.
