L.P. 10.1 Tax Form As A .Doc
sometimewoodworker replied to jambla's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/tax_pdf/request/lp10.1_110355.pdf Google lens does a reasonably translation -
You are likely to be able to claim for at least 2023, though there maybe a late return fee, possibly a couple of preceding years by filing late tax returns, AFIK the late filing fee is recently imposed. FWIW I filed a few years ago and the 300+ refund wasn’t worth the bother so I haven’t filed recently

ATM fees or Pay tax
sometimewoodworker replied to EVENKEEL's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I have no desire or interest in your personal or financial details and certainly don’t want them. You are either extremely bad a wording your response or have absolutely no concept of how the system functions, possibly both. Your home country will do nothing about changing your allowances because you live in Thailand. Your home countries taxing authorities will certainly not be paying to the TRD. If there is tax due it is you who must pay it. it is you who must determine what is, and is not, assessable income and if a tax return is required and what tax is due. The TRD will decide if they agree or not and if they want to audit you. If they decide to audit you and if you haven’t submitted tax forms (tax forms are not mandatory) they have 10 years to do so If they decide to audit you and you have submitted tax forms they have 3 years to decide The one good point is that audits are not common. Congratulations you are one of the few, but from what you say you don’t know how to phrase that in English. -
ATM fees or Pay tax
sometimewoodworker replied to EVENKEEL's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That is an interesting but flawed viewpoint. to explain if you are tax resident in Thailand. yes; your income is already taxed outside Thailand yes; you are covered by the DTA between Thailand and your home country yes; some pensions of some countries are excluded from being taxed by Thailand and are not assessable income. no; just because you bring in already taxed income to Thailand you are not exempt from paying Thai tax. you are required to assess your remitted funds, if they are assessable income you are required to calculate the tax due, there are various allowances that reduce the taxable amount, you can the offset the tax paid outside Thailand against the tax due. In the majority of cases unless you remit a small amount you will have to pay some Thai tax, it will be less than someone not covered by a DTA but the DTA is unlikely to eliminate all of your liability. -
DWP pension problems
sometimewoodworker replied to mikebell's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
FWIW I have received increased pension payments for 2 different visits to the U.K. it was a remarkably easy process, I just called and gave them my NI number, my arrival date and my departure date, possibly a couple of security questions. Total time taken less than 10 minutes each time including waiting on the call being answered. Success both times. It is quite possible that someone can call on your behalf. -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”

Is this the review as far as you remember -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”

Just look at the space requirements for the rotors and callipers it will be obvious -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Smaller wheels require a different profile so it is automatically correct and you can see them on the listing above. -

Neither are suitable for either vehicle -

There is no difference with my current model -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I don’t know about others but I can tell you that at the moment my front tyres are slightly low, I will check shortly and tell you exactly how low they are It is the same with all vehicles I have driven. However I do not check after driving as the pressure will be different than recommended. That is hardly relevant as you drive for seconds not hours and probably have little interest in longevity. -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I am not sure if a 16” after market wheel will fit or be available, the 1” difference is a standard on models of both vehicles so I’m reasonably confident that there will be no problems, apart of course the fight I may have with the actual dealer. 😉 -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Thanks for a real example it is what I suspected, though of course the actual tyres used will have had an influence. Do you remember the difference in rim size? -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Lower tyre pressures do far more than making the ride different, among other things, the tyres run hotter, the breaking distance is longer, the grip on wet roads is less good. There may well be other effects that I haven’t mentioned or know. -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If you look the 3rd post you will see that though the actual wheels are smaller the side walls are bigger so the rolling diameter on the Toyota is just 0.4mm different and the Honda is 11.9mm so while neither will be exactly the same the difference is hardly going to be significant. There again I already know that the numbers are just a rough approximation and I always use the much more exact GPS speed data for speed FWIW at an exact 90kmh the odometer reading on my current vehicle with correct tyre pressures is 92kmh This incidentally is an early warning of low tyre pressures as if the pressure is a few psi low the reading is 91kmh -

And you are making comments that have no value or bearing on the actual question posed -
English state pension
sometimewoodworker replied to DaveBart's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
You forgot to mention that is only 1 mouse worth of brain cells and they have to apply to use them. 🙂 -
@Keith5588 you should very seriously try not to live in Thailand more than 179 day during the calendar year you sell your house. This is because you WILL be liable to pay a few million Baht on the money remitted to Thailand whenever it is remitted. If you wish to reduce your tax liability to zero then not being tax resident in the year you sell the U.K. property means your sale proceeds are never taxable in Thailand If however you are tax resident in the year your house sells you should ask a Thai tax accountant to help reduce your tax liability. I’m sure that you can find pleasant places for you and your GF to spend about 27 weeks in total for a year without spending a ridiculous amount of the saved tax

Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
How is your question helpful? Also it should be asked to people who actually know the answers. How does the geographical location affect the road? Having just driven over 5,000km on U.K. roads I can verify that Thailand’s roads are not remarkably different, and having historically driven for hundreds of thousands of kilometres on Japanese roads there are roads that a much worse than the worst of Thai roads that I have driven on. -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Both manufacturers do actually do exactly that. In that the wheels with tyres that are effectively the same rolling diameter are fitted to different models Toyta 215/55 R17 235/45 R18 Honda 225/50 R17 235/45 R18 The reasons for fitting the different wheels are not published but I suspect that they are a marketing choice and that in general there is a perception that bigger are better and provide better performance so increasing the perceived value. I have no idea if there was any consideration of ride quality or more accurately how much weight was given to it. However if there is any improvement in things like softening the feel of road imperfections, pot holes etc. then since I will be driving it for hundreds of thousands of kilometres even slight changes are significant and as I said for my driving which is predominantly at the speed limits on major roads, and costs and cosmetics are not relevant But if they exist, marginal is still an improvement That is helpful, do you have places where that kind of research is published, the other requirement will be that the exact tyre models are available in Thailand. Yes they are both average cars and will remain so, but the second statement can be accurately summarised as “I don’t know” can’t it? -
Changing 18” wheels to 17”
sometimewoodworker replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
That is of course a given, and when new the difference between stock Camray 17” and 18” wheels is 0.4mm or 0.06% so effectively no difference. the Honda 17” and 18” wheels for is 11.9mm or 1.81% so it is classed as FITMENT OK! -
The title is my question in essence I am considering a Camry (2.5 HEV Premium Luxury variant ) or Accord e:HEV: RS. as my next vehicle. I don’t care about the aesthetics, after all I will spend my time driving it. It makes no difference to me what other people think of the car. However 17” wheels are quieter and provide an arguably better ride. I understand that I may need to replace the breaks but I will retain all the parts that have to be swapped out. The cost of the swap is not a relevant factor for me. comments on this please

The fine for not completing the form is the least of the financial implications and it is only about ½ the British penalty so quite high. However the TRD like HMRC can go back and audit your returns and impose tax penalties. So don’t be surprised if the 2kbht for not filling a Thai tax form (no reports of it being imposed) would be a small fraction of the possible finical penalty.

You do know that while tax returns are voluntary payment of taxes are not so not completing a tax doesn’t absolve you of paying the correct amount of tax. Also that there is no obligation to provide an English version (that there is often an attempt to do so is irrelevant) you also are probably aware of the maximum/rule/law that goes ignorance of the law is no excuse So I hope that your professed bliss is not interrupted by some significantly unpleasant financial demands.
