Planning life in 5-year bites is not a bad strategy. Very good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I become a gamer addicted, so I spent most of the money for update my flight simulator, buying consoles, etc. The 20 yo daughter she is working at Texas on Sukhumvit, so I am not sure if she wants, in case, follow us in Phuket. The others two kids are at Aksorn School That's plenty enough. Take the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is you need a work permit, without that you can't legally work. If the company sponsors you for that and agrees to pay all your taxes and that is contracted and agreed with the Revenue, great. But taxes are individual and unique to the person/family and need to be tailored. For example, how many deductions/exemptions are you able to claim for children, insurance policies and a whole host of other things, does you company know all of that? And does your contract for them to pay your tax, absolve you of all responsibility, I seriously doubt that. Much more info. is needed on this for me to feel comfortable, but that's just me. Company I work for. Tax is taken from my gross salary and paid to the revenue department. surely this is a fairly common arrangement world over.

If it is straight forward PAYE then great. But that wasn't the picture the OP painted, he was suggesting he had agreed a salary and that the company would pay his taxes in addition to, which appeared to be a separate part of the deal on offer. He wrote, "Thought the company paid the taxes" when promp[ted about insurances and deductions etc.. Edited March 28 by Mike Lister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
