I keep hearing about these stakeholders, am I ever a stakeholder? It sounds like a complete load of <deleted> to me

Isn't it just vertigo?

It sounds to me like you have an idiot processing your renewal back in the UK

Don't bother - they turned off tweet embedding so save your breath - it's not wanted

Saw this on TV earlier - it's nuts!

I saw only one video but it was heavily edited. Did you see the full version?

Describing it as a loop hole is not correct. The previous system where no tax was due on prior years earnings was very deliberately introduced with a 'memo' issued way back in the 1980s. Suddenly out of nowhere a new memo was issued some 40 years later which reversed the 1980s memo. Which brings us to where we are now. So it was never a 'loop hole' - which is an unintentional consequence of something which wasn't thought through properly - it was a very deliberate and meticulous act when introduced and a very deliberate act when removed.

I wouldn't go that far, it seem like they can't be bothered with the hassle - at the moment.

If they hadn't have killed him they there would be no murder investigation. If I see some crazy running around like a mad man I tend to just ignore them. If they bother me and I manage to get rid of them then that's great. What I don't do is give chase and then 'subdue' them to death for some reason. I don't care what the guys issue is, once he's gone, problem solved.

So the difference in a manslaughter and murder charge often comes down to one simple question. Did they 'go after' the deceased or did an incident break out in which they had to act in self defence. Here they gave chase and in many countries that single difference is what changes any potential charge regardless of the reasons given from one of involuntary manslaughter / manslaughter to murder. It's a very small difference but it's why people sit in prisons for life compared to say 5 or 10 years if it was a one punch knockout in response to a single incident. Never chase someone down and attack them - because that's murder if they die, even if you didn't intend it - chasing after them is intent to attack. Simplified but explains how some people can end up on a murder charge even if it started out as an act of self defence.

You're right of course, but in practice lets face it - hardly anyone filed anything with the Revenue Department and many people remitted mixed funds / same year funds without much separation. I know some people used the beginning on the year big remittance method - as in do a wire for a few million Baht on the first business day of the year - kind of proves the money comes from the previous year but many people, even those who attempted to get TIN numbers were knocked back- and they're all potentially liable.

Indeed. British man murdered by a gang of thugs in Bangkok is the headline. There's never an excuse for murder so the circumstances (excuses for their actions) surrounding this literal beating to death of a tourist in Bangkok are kind of irrelevant really. He's dead, they killed him and it's all on CCTV.

Didn't happen to me either but it does happen. Imagine some local tax official filling out forms for years and doing them all wrong. No problem until the auditors come knocking. It's not the tax official who has the problem then.

Yes it is, and sure I will do me which is why I now spend half a year in Cambodia and don't pay a single Baht no matter how much I remit.

Think of it as being similar to immigration making a mistake on your entry stamp. It's your responsibility - not theirs. Same thing.
