Doesn't help us pensioners living in LOS though does it? Pleased for my 94 year old dad, he will get a bit more.

Very good post You have addressed this very well.it all makes sense

I spoke to the guy in the video. I thought it would be good for me , sure I could pay for 2 years without making a claim....he asked me about my PEC's and said realistically I only had about a 5% chance of being approved. So that's that then

I'm currently watching a video by Siam Legal Thier MD is saying that the TRD just don't have the manpower to enforce anything this year and are likely to postpone everything for another year. They have spent 18 months trying to sort out one person's tax credit!!! Sorry it's off topic but it's interesting

But it won't be long before 2023 is history Then what?

I too have brought many cars in my 21 years here. I'm not babbling ,you are just rude If you bring 2m baht a year into the country you will be taxed. Whatever you buy be it a car a boat or a plane, you will have to do it with money that you have, or are going to pay tax on. So, you will indirectly pay tax for purchasing that car, the dealer is not gonna send you a bill, but you will pay ,just the same

O have actually familiarized myself with this

How do you know this with absolute certainty? I do not claim to be any kind of expert on Thai Tax but I was under the impression that WHATEVER money was remitted to Thailand was taxable unless it was for the purchase of a condominium. I wouod be grateful if you could enlighten me ? 😊 thanks

I dont know if it's true, but I'm not willing to chance it until all becomes clear. What I have read here is that ALL foreign income will be taxed so if I bring in 1m then 20% or 25% would be taxable whatever you spend it on

No we should not as we already pay. Private Hospitals ( there would be a lot less if we were not here) Car Tax (pays for road construction) Visas Re entry permits Entry to National Parks Schooling ( most foreigners use private schools for their kids) Whoever wants to tax us also has to realize that if we are 10% worse off a year then so will the people that rely on us as customers. I bet they have never given that a thought Or that the Police would have less foreign motorists to fine.

Agreed I want to buy a new car but worry that at the end of the year I will have to pay 25% tax on it!!! So I will hold off until things become clearer

Thank you for enlightening me

New Prime Minister.....this tax scheme may go down the toilet if the 10,000 baht wallet is scrapped I think that is around 500 billion baht. It's like if Anutin is elected pm the anti canibis act will more than likely be scrapped as it was Anutin who introduced in in the first place We will see

Actually it's about 2% I've been told

Also, be aware that all the realtors I have come across in HH charge 5% commission for selling your property. In Chiang Mai it's just 3% I don't know why there is such an anomoly

Same as the UK then Anyone can become a "real estate agent ," No qualifications required

Chain?

Ah...so you discovered that all the babbling morons at the bar are not your freinds and never were? Surprise surprise! When I have quit drink in the past NOT ONE of my drinking "feinds" sought to find me, I was a threat to their alcoholism .....they don't feel "safe" around non drinkers, they only feel safe with their own kind. I have known some that got off the plane, poured themselselves into the bar scene and literally came out in a wooden box acfew years later...suppose it was their pension "up to them" but if they had gotten 100 baht even time their ego was ignited by the "hansom man, where you go" squeeze, I would be a millionaire

Are these taxi services available in Trat ? Only I am in hospital here and my car is on Koh Chang so once I'm out we need to get to the ferry to go over to the island. If there are none can anyone suggest another way? Many thanks

I have always found the SCB staff in the basement of Bluport Shopping Mall to be both friendly and efficient

Sorry, my location is Hua Hin

I'm looking for a reasonably priced competent visa agent for my visa renewal this year. Woukd prefer a recommendation from someone who has used one before. I want another Marriage visa which I have had for 5 years in another province. Thanks in advance for your responses

I know this is an old thread but I need advice on obtaining a marriage visa. Not due till end of September, but I have the money seasoning, I understand from my ex visa agent in Chiang Mai that I require 2 months worth of 400k in the bank, three for retirement. I think from what I have been told that it's not that easy to get a marriage visa without an agent in HH but what is the going rate here for their services, can anyone say or make a recommendation ? Many thanks

I would think the number would be much higher than 1% of people being summoned to the tax office bearing in mind there are half a million new taxpayers and no further revenue officers being appointed and trained to my knowledge

So can someone make this clear for me please:? It's personal questions but I'm sure someone can help me as it's all driving me nuts I have around 2,000 GBP in rental income in the UK which I am taxed on there. I have around 2,000 GBP in pensions that I am also taxed on in the UK I pay about 4.5,000 in income tax each year in the UK Will I be liable for tax in Thailand and if so how much? I already have a TIN number but I have moved 3 timrs since I registered it, will I have to update it.? Thank you so much I have worked out that my allowances against tax should be 660,000 and I bring in about 1.2m a year for living expenses.
