I would say it is you that knows nothing about the OECD

 

 

You have already proven your lack of knowledge given your refusal to agree that a global taxation system is not an OECD requirement.

Section 11 page 3 lays out obligations of OECD membership and what members must accept.

So what?? That adds nothing to the points I have made about your refusal to agree that a global taxation system is not an OECD requirement.

Crying shame you have no idea how Supranational organisations actually operate.

 

Ahh ...  crying shame? Are you crying?

 

How silly.

 

Next it will be a religious statement or an insult from you.  I expect no less.

 

Why not simply agree a global taxation system is not an OECD requirement, or admit your knowledge of OECD requirements in this regard is severely lacking.  I remind you once again there is a big difference between 'favouring' a certain system, as opposed to 'requiring' a certain system.

 

So simply agree, that a global taxation system is not an OECD requirement.

Canada, pop 40 million, taxpayers 29 million

 

Thailand, pop 75 million, taxpayers 4 million.

 

Something is drastically wrong, and the most likely answer is tax avoidance / evasion.

 

Since when was Canada a third-world developing economy based on subsistence rice farming?

Perhaps you are not aware of Thailands Aim and objective of becoming  a high income Country by 2037.

 

Quote

Reducing emissions and adapting to climate change are therefore critical to Thailand’s continued growth and development, and its ability to meet its objective of becoming a high-income country by 2037.

One of the way to achieving that is by investment, that investment requires more taxation than Thailand currently raises.

 

But you carry on thinking that changes are not going to come.

Everyone with critical thinking skills understood THAT unintended consequence.

but that sharp drop in remittances (i haven't seen any actual numbers or facts) is probably not because of us foreigners who, due to the "adjusted tax law," are supposedly sending less money to thailand ...

 

i rather suspect, if the claim is even true,  that it's thais (companies, etc.) who have stopped transferring money into thailand

...

 

or maybe this whole new thing is just a temporary (2-year) distraction to give certain influential thais more time to continue their illegal activities ...

 

in all this chaos and with the changing tax laws, everyone is losing track... and nobody knows what rules will even apply in the coming years... what a hopeless banana republic!
