it doesn’t matter whether the money comes from your pension, business income, or transfers from friends and family ... you, as the recipient and tax resident, are responsible for paying taxes on any taxable money brought into thailand. the tax office does not differentiate who sent you the money. people over 65 who receive a pension have a tax-free allowance of at least 500k. additionally, depending on the country, the DTA may provide further tax-exempts. savings from before 01.01.2024 can be transferred to thailand tax-free. insurance contributions and other expenses may also be partially deductible ..

She did not go to the Rice Committee Meetings anyway which would be negligence on her part but the resulting fine is a bit excessive billion's of loss and the corruption that came with it were more than just negligence on her .... who was responsible for the whole scheme? it was khun yingluck ...(who was following orders from khun toni ... )

if you are a tax resident in thailand and bring taxable money into the country above the threshold, you have to pay taxes on it. the tax office doesn’t care how you earned the money abroad ... it is income money! except in a few cases (proof required): - it is savings from before 01.01.2024 - it is inherited money - it is a gift - you have already paid taxes on it in your home country - it is exempt from taxes under a double tax agreement (DTA)

i would wait at least another 1 to 2 weeks before contacting the tax office. bureaucracy moves slowly, and so does the postal service ...

as of today, there's no need to worry about leaving the country. if you think you need tax clarification, here's a starting point: https://www.rd.go.th/english/23518.html

a few days ago, i learned that some bev only support AC single-phase charging (like the atto 3?) and not AC three-phase! this makes me wonder why PEA offers AC charging with 25 kw or even 43 kw. does that make any sense when most bevs charge AC at only 7 kw, some at 11 kw, and only a few up to 22 kw? i've never heard of any bev AC charging above 22 kw ... sorry for all the strange questions, i'm just a beginner, but i like to learn ....

i chose the sealion 7 awd, and after watching the video and owning it for three weeks, i'm sure i made the right decision. volvo, xpeng and zeekr were before also on my list, but since the nearest dealer is a 7-hour round trip away, i decided to join the big byd family instead ...

the sim card (from singapore) in my sealion 7 seems useless ... i rarely get any signal! most of the time the byd app won’t connect to the car, even when i'm standing right next to it. spotify and navigation usually don’t work either... unless i use android auto or a hotspot. is there any way to improve the connection through settings? i think all seal owners have received a thai sim card by now... surprisingly, i haven't heard of any other sealion 7 owners having this issue. maybe my sim card is the problem ...

well done! great news, that just made my day ... thank you!

thaksin seems like the donald trump of thailand … arrogant and full of himself, making empty promises and lying daily … yet both are convicted criminal too ...

some good thoughts, thanks. but i can imagine that if someone deliberately or intentionally doesn't file a tax return, even though they know they have to, it could be considered attempted tax evasion. in a situation like that, a court would probably have to decide on such a case .... just my thoughts ...

you are already on their radar ... the big question is only will they come after you or not ... and will it be this year or in a few years or never in our life time ....

it's the other way around ... if they want you, you have to go to them ...

i really hope someone like you will be the first to try this "gift" option ... it will be entertaining. as always, it's up to you

this topic has already been discussed countless times in detail... there are many points that need to be considered (to avoid tax evasion). if it were that simple, everyone would do it.

I do agree with you ... with one exception, " welcome back EOW"!!! he was a t.... before he had his long break, and he is still the same annoying t..... to spam every ev topic! he should go back under his rock or spend more time with his family ... best, do not feed this t... again!

i don't think that's correct. if that were true, no one would file a tax form with their spouse (because of missing the 150k tax free benefit). do you have a reliable source for that?

some good points ... but if you like to play safe, you should know what to do ... listen to a friend or to a front office staff at TRD without getting any written confirmation, that's not playing safe ... but anyway, it's up to you ...

yes, that's correct. but if the TRD ask or audit you, you need a solid prove for it ...

maybe you are looking for this kind of info ...

simple answer: NO, because you are not the father, and she is not your adopted daughter ...

i'm not sure if this is an old one or something new... don't shoot the messenger! https://www.rd.go.th/english/index-eng.html

my wife always handled this all the years alone. i gave her these documents: my passport, id card, tax card, yellow house book, and bank statement for withholding tax. i can't tell you which documents were actually necessary ...

i filled out the tax return without uploading any documents. later, the TRD informed me which documents i needed to upload. for my wife's and child's online tax return, we didn't upload any documents at all because the data (bank, life-insurance etc) was already correct in the system. within a few days, they received the refund ...

normaly, the TRD will inform you after a thorough review if you need a bank statement for the money you brought into thailand. it's quite possible that the tax office won't require this proof at all ... i would give it a try without this bank statement ...
