What French guy?

The page https://www.rd.go.th/english/63902.html on the website of the RD has a list of forms and documents in English. I had a look at item 4 on that list, Guide to Personal Income Tax Return 2020 (ภ.ง.ด.91). Contrary to the indication on that list, it is not a PDF file but a DOCX file. I scanned it with both Avast! and Malwarebytes and neither found a problem. Just the same, for anyone who avoids Microsoft Word files because they are potentially risky I created the attached PDF file. On page page7 of that Guide, there is this text for foreigners who are non-resident of Thailand for tax purposes: The "conditions stated in 1" include the following: The Guide to Personal Income Tax Return 2022 (ภ.ง.ด.90) has these same texts as the Guide for the form ภ.ง.ด.91. It remains to be seen whether these guides will remain unchanged for the tax return for the year 2014. Both tax return forms as well as the recent RD order ask only for assessable income to be declared. Therefore, if a foreigner concludes that, for example, the pension payments he received and transferred to Thailand are not assessable income for Thailand under the provisions of the DTA agreement between Thailand and another country, he does not have to declare this part of his income and can wait and see what happens. This is my view of it, adoptable by others at their own risk.

I had asked myself the same question and found the answer in this post: https://aseannow.com/topic/1306896-thai-government-to-tax-all-income-from-abroad-for-tax-residents-starting-2024/?do=findComment&comment=18476037

I don't like the tax on assets (wealth and inheritance tax). It is a punitive tax for not having spent all the income when one earned it, the way some political groups advocate one should do and then depend on social security and government subsidies in old age. Having paid tax when earning the he money should suffice, without an additional tax, usually repetitive annually, for failing to spend part of it.

Thank you, Jim. This clears up an uncertainty I have had about the phrasing "may be taxed".

Thank you, Sheryl.

And the Tha government donates 3 million Baht, via UNRWA, to the terrorist organisation responsible for these kidnappings and deaths of Thai nationals. https://aseannow.com/topic/1310972-thailand-contributes-3000000-baht-in-support-of-unrwa-gaza-emergency-response-flash-appeal/?do=getNewComment

This is an excellent news articles. The explanations of Mr Kitipong Urapeepattanapong match my own views and concerns about this recent Revenue Department Order.

My wife, who is in Thailand at the moment, bought this in Bangkok last month.

If the unlabelled little green pills have a diameter of 6.7 mm and a height of 3 mm, they could be Gastab.

Never mind the homo sapiens, but I think any homo sapiens sapiens coming fresh to this topic would be more than a little crazy to read through the 130 (so far) pages of this topic.

In my view, it clarifies a lot: Section 41 is for nationals of countries that have no Double Taxation with Thailand (DTA) The DTAs are for nationals of countries that have a DTA with Thailand.

You got that right.

Perhaps we shouldn't blame the Thai government for funding a terrorist organisation (via UNRWA), seeing that even Israel is funding it.

Now we see what happened.

Why doesn't Hamas purchase water, food and medical supplies for their people? Do they really need all the money they have amassed for terrorist attacks? Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/24/business/hamas-secret-investment-portfolio-israel/index.html

Even if they are aware of it, they don't care. There wouldn't be any money in it for them. The Hamas leadership is too busy managing their multibillion dollar investments bought with donations from charities, fund raising and contributions from friendly nations. Who funds Hamas? A global network of crypto, cash and charities https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-cash-to-crypto-global-finance-maze-israels-sights-2023-10-16/

Correction: Anyone who stays in Thailand for over 180 days is a TAX RESIDENT of Thailand (ie a resident for the purpose of taxation)

Pneumonia vaccination seems to be recommended mostly for children. What would be the recommendation for an adult >70 who was told by his pneumologist after an extremely bad pneumonia in 2019 that his next pneumonia may well be his death and subsequently received a shot of Prevenar 13?

Deleted by myself.

Ate you sure that for a couple it is THB 800k per person? Can't just one get the retirement extension and the other a dependent visa as the spouse?

Does this mean that these 20 kidnapped Thais are now being held in the same place in a tunnel under a hospital or school to serve as a human shield against Israeli military forces trying to liberate them?

I like this definition of a rich man: "A rich man is a man whose wife spends less than he earns"

How does this "...may be..." work out in real life? Do representatives of the UK and Thailand throw dice every year to decide which country gets to tax this type of income for that year?

My search on MIMS Thailand (https://www.mims.com/thailand) indicates that the brand NovaTears is not sold in Thailand, nor any other type of artificial tears containing Perfluorohexyloctane.
