Illegal Foreign Guide Assaults Chinese Tourist at Jewelry Store
Yes thanks for that, I just googled it before, not sure who receives the fee though. And one criteria is knowing Thai history as written by them no doubt. -

Transfer car from my company to me - Is there a way to avoid or reduce VAT?
Nope, the very last one bites the dust - that is the whole idea of VAT. The final end user, beneficiary, whatever you want to call it, pays the tax on all the "value addition" since creation, import etc. The only accounting advantage could be that, if the friend has a company and books the car(s) as assets, then he can also mark 7% VAT as input tax. As a private individual there is no avoidance or possibility of refund (unless the cars would get exported for good). The VAT always* applies and can a positive or negative amount. 500 = purchased new by the first buyer 35 = VAT of 7% added on the above 535 = price paid by first buyer The 35 go, in this example, as input VAT into the seller's tax listing to be net balanced by the end of each month and result in settling a payment or enjoying a tax credit (for the next month) 100 = is the price the above article gets sold on (i.e. a loss of 400) 7 = VAT of 7% added on the above 107 = price paid by the second buyer (or revenue for the seller, i.e. the first buyer) This results in a tax credit of 28 to the benefit of the first buyer. *the VAT applies only to products, on which something has been done; fresh unprocessed meat or veggies are VAT-free, a sausage or a plate of cooked veggies in a restaurant are subject to VAT. To complicate matters; if you give it away free of charge (say, a hotel gives you a lucky draw award of a free suite with breakfast), then the 7% of the walk-in price still applies. If you have a restaurant and offer free drinks (i.e because you goofed up in the kitchen), then the revenue department is not accepting that. With non-measurable units (i.e. a glass of house wine) or a scoop of ice cream out of the two kilogrammes pail - no issue as the revenue department will never find out. But if you offer a round of beer in stubbies, you give away 10 stubbies with zero revenue which you initially bought. A physical stock control would reveal, that the stock is 10 bottles short of the sales figure. Having had restaurants, I usually just threw in a few boxes of beer on a just-in-case-basis, which happened years later. There were still stock deviations in the individual product listing (buying two cases of Heineken to cover 7 Singha, 12 Leo, 15 San Miguel Light, 9 Asahi and 3 Tiger). As you can see, there are still two stubbies too many in the stock and my accountant explained, that this happens often as staff open the wrong bottles at times. -

I Love Donald Trump
Sadly, there are some people in this world, who, unfortunately have severe mental problems, and can even become dangerous if they ever, in life, find themselves in any sort of position of power. trump is one of them, and his best way to handle this person, would be in a place where he can receive proper mental health treatment. Perhaps a secure room, in a hospital that specializes in this area of mental health would be ideal for him. A doctor, with the help of some well trained nurses, could, pick him up from his residence, put him gently into a straight jacket, give him a warm drink, and take him, by ambulance to said hospital. He will probably need life time treatment, so best to leave him there in capable hands. Oh, and give him some kiddy toys to play with, something to keep his mind occupied. -

Gun permit, licens
I don´t think so. Might be about the last sentence, but that was just deserved sarcasm. You go on about a gun, as it seems to be very important for you. Must be that you feel unsecure not having one in Thailand. Then, better pick up the sticks and run to Mexico. You can probably get a gun in Colombia as well, and there you might also have a need for it. 😉 Regarding killing your pet? Was that why you needed a gun? -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Trump is only trying to stop the Non-Americans from voting. What rubbish you post. The Democrats place other Dems in key positions as soon as they take office as well. More rubbish you post. He has never strived to become a dictator. This is a tactic used by the Democrats to turn the Republican votes to their party. More utter rubbish you post. He can not remove limitations set by the constitution. Maybe you can learn something if reading it. It also tells you he can never become a dictator using the laws in the constitution. It takes many other people to do all the things you accuse Trump of doing. So your reasons are now turned to garbage. Try posting things with facts to support what you say. https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. The original document is forwarded directly to NARA's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for processing and publication. The OFR adds legislative history notes to the joint resolution and publishes it in slip law format. The OFR also assembles an information package for the States which includes formal "red-line" copies of the joint resolution, copies of the joint resolution in slip law format, and the statutory procedure for ratification under 1 U.S.C. 106b. -

Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted
Wonder if the developers will ever see the inside of a courthouse for criminal charges….or the officials who took the payoffs that allowed them to be built. -

Australian Aged Pension
QUOTE from above: "The 35 year rule has nothing to do with pension being portable or being cut off if you leave. 35 years is the minimum time you are required to be working (available for work), to even qualify for a pension." Qualify for a pension are the key words. The OAP application form has questions which are specific to this point. There's no flexibility. -

I Love Donald Trump
The New York Times reported in February 2021 that: "Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans...The average income of Americans would be more than double its current level if the economy had somehow grown at the Democratic rate for all of the past nine decades. You better head for them thar hills boy.......you'll get some incoming for that.....555 -

Former Army Chief Set to Lead Neo-Conservative Party
If there is reform, then there is a loss of 'revenue' to many in the 'Current System" hence they are fighting to retain access to revenue. -

I appreciate everyone who responded, and I’ve read all your replies. If I didn’t respond, it wasn’t because I didn’t read them but due to personal reasons, as I wasn’t feeling well. I’ve mentioned before that I’m new to the forum, but some people continue making assumptions that it’s AI or something else. Just because I didn’t reply doesn’t mean it’s AI. This is a forum, and the question isn’t just for me but for others who may have the same inquiry. Thanks again to everyone who contributed.- 1
