The TOEFL iBT test is scored on a scale of 0 to 120 points. Each of the four sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing) receives a scaled score from 0 to 30. The scaled scores from the four sections are added together to determine the total score. 

 

So I don't know which test you took but it was not TOEFL with a score like that

What does me having to provide documents to immigration when I rent a property have to do anything with tax?

 

You mix and blend things from here and there that you dont seem to have a clue about.

because if you earn an income more than 20,000 baht you are libel for tax so when its on a computer that you are renting 5 or 6 properties they will come knocking for the tax

I dont need a work permit to be tax resident in Thailand.

 

Taxpayers are classified into “resident” and “non-resident”. “Resident” means any person residing in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand. 

you are earning an income from rental on property without paying tax you are breaking the law , This is why now you have to provide documents to immigration when renting a property, new regulations

Just now, Sexbomb said:

And if I say that I do pay tax on that income as I am legally a tax resident of Thailand as I stay there more than 6 months?

you are not a tax payer if you have no work permit

I know that I can get a work permit and I know the rules for such BUT should it be necessary to register a company, hire a bunch of Thais, etc just to rent out your condo that you have invested in and brought money into the country to pay for if it is in fact considered work and a work permit is required as you claim it is.

you are not paying tax on your income

Tried to open a bank account for a new member of staff at the end of the month , Took the work permit and passport and the salary to open the Bank account and they refused to open the account ,unless she took out insurance which she does not require as we pay social welfare and she can use the government hospitals for free. our lawyer is in the process of contacting the head office not the call center as the call center could not give any answers. 

We have 45 members of staff and they have all been told that we will be moving banks so they must open bank accounts at our new bank, Our lawyer informs us what they are doing is not legal

Also they get 15% on insurance they sell

yes you need TOEIC or TOEFL for the issue of a work permit

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you need to check the law, Offering any kind of educational services without a licence from the ministry of education carries a 2 year jail sentence, your school will have to be inspected and approved by the MOE classroom sizes have to conform to the law there are minimum sizes for these classrooms. you will be required to submit a floor plan for what every room is being used for on every floor, opening a school is not as easy as what you think.

 

As i said you do need approval from the ministry of education and you must have a Thai Headteacher who has a masters degree, and being a police volunteer is not something i would be proud to advertise.

Are you aware that DHL , Fedex and the other major express postage companies add transport costs onto your shipment before they tax you, on the full amount. It is not customs it is the postal companies that are over taxing you as they get a % of what they raise for the government,

I have had several arguments with fedex and Dhl and have even got my lawyer involved and did get my money back that they had over charged me. But normally they are unbending, the best way is by sea with a FORM E document that makes the goods import tariff at 0%

There is a free trade agreement with China as long as you are a legal Thai company you can import most things at 0% import tariff . you will need the supplier to issue you a FORM E a pink document that makes the goods duty except , they will send you a copy with a B/L but the originals must be sent from China for customs in Thailand , so no you dont have to pay import duty just tax and vat

I have a feeling we will hear more about this. I would like to know how he got the drugs. That stupid man will sing like a canary when he is sentenced.

This man already sang like a canary , when he was arrested 4 months ago for possesion, did 2 weeks in Nong Plue prison did a deal with the police grassed both Thai and Falang up and then released after paying some tea money, so you cannot say he was new to this. He put himself on the radar when he was caught in possesion, did he not think then they would have him under observation. He was also a director of MyGirl massage upto 2 months ago , when he sold his shares, was mygirl massage a money laundering operation? seems it could have been

My statement is correct.

For a regular school you need a degree as you need a teaching license and for a (waiver of the) teaching license a degree is required.

For a language school no teaching license is required, thus also no degree is required.

Of course there are some labour offices that never the less require a degree. But in general you only indicate your highest education.

It may not be required by the school but it is required for your workpermit

There is no reason to call the school

• if you are a new customer then your visa is valid and you follow the previous procedures for extending the visa
• If you have already done more than 12 months on a student visa then new visa extensions are ok up to the 29th of August, after the 29th even if your visa extension is in the first week of September , your visa will not be extended, we have to apply again to the education department get new approval for our customers and they must leave the country to obtain a new student visa.
• then every 12 months they will be required to leave and get there new student visa's at a Thai Embassy or Consulate outside of Thailand.

we are contacting students now whose visa's will be up for extension in September and October to come to the school quickly so we can do applications again, normally the paperwork takes 2 weeks to come back from the education department, This will dramatically increase as every school will be sending paper work to the education department,

This is a nightmare for everyone and we do say sorry to our customers

There is simply nothing we can do about this, this is not the schools doing, But it is simply a nightmare, the amount of paper work that our staff will have to do for our customers to renew there visa's will be a challenge on its own, without having phone calls that will take them away from doing this paperwork i ask for your understanding

The new regulations start on the 29th of August

1. If your visa extension is due after the 29th , you must re-apply for the student visa, even if you have only done 1,2 or 3 of your extensions.
2. This will involve another visa trip outside of Thailand to obtain a new ED Visa.
3. All new applicants on a tourist visa can apply for the student visa but will loose the length of the tourist visa from the length of the ED Visa ( for example if you have 30 day tourist visa you will loose 1 month from your 12 month ED Visa, if you have 60 days + 30 days then you would loose up to 3 months of the visa dependent on entry stamp and when you got the ED Visa
4. Students that go from year 1 to 2 or year 2-3 ect will have to re-apply in the same way but unlike now where you just continue to go to immigration , you must now take the documents outside of Thailand to a Thai embassy or consulate for them to issue a new student visa.

They are also to investigate all visa shops , law firms and bars with visa booths offering student visa's and will require them to name the schools who are doing the paperwork for them.

and your lawyer is going to fax it to them. You just wasted your lawyer's time (and presumably your money).

just a sarcastic joke

But i have a copy of my contract dear that runs out on August 11th 2014. We don't believe you, can you fax it to us no but i've faxed it to my lawyer.

unbelievable.

anything is possible in Thailand

If they are a MOE licensed non-formal school, they are exempt from the TCT teacher license requirements and obtaining a work permit is far easier for them.

As of 3 years ago it is a legal requirement to obtain a teaching licence , non formal schools are except as the poster above states , but to work in any other school you will require a teaching licence and without a degree you will not be allowed to take the Thai Culture course which is the first step in obtaining the teaching licence as you have to provide a degree certificate
