Thai Finance Minister Calls for Tax Reform to Boost Economic Growth
Thailand’s Finance Minister, Pichai Chunhavajira, pushed for comprehensive tax reforms during his speech at the ACMA Business Forum 2024. Pichai stressed that Thailand’s personal and corporate income tax rates are higher than those of many competing nations, a discrepancy that could hinder the country's economic growth. The Minister underlined a global trend of lowering such taxes to stay competitive internationally. In discussing value-added tax (VAT), Pichai noted that it is a consumption-based tax, meaning those who purchase more will pay more. He advocated for an equitable application of VAT while suggesting that part of the revenue should support low-income individuals. Debt restructuring, particularly for home and car loans, was another focal point. Pichai recognised the challenges this entails but stressed its importance for financial stability, which, in turn, benefits banks. He warned that allowing more loan defaults could weaken even the currently strong financial institutions. Reflecting on Thailand’s economic trajectory, Pichai recalled the high GDP growth rates of 9-10% in the 1980s, driven by a strong investment ratio. However, he observed a stark contrast today, with the investment ratio down to 19-20%, contributing to slower economic growth. Excluding the Covid-19 period, the average growth rate in recent years has been 1.9%, far below the potential 3.5%. Pichai also highlighted the importance of a flexible exchange rate for the baht, given that export revenue constitutes a significant 65% of GDP. He emphasised that the exchange rate should be guided by market mechanisms. Addressing the stock market’s positive trends, Pichai credited the confidence in the new government's policies, adjustments to investment rules, and the promotion of new funds aligned with these policies. He projected that maintaining a trading volume range of 60-80 billion baht (approximately US$1.8-2.3 billion) was attainable with increased economic confidence. Pichai's call for tax system integration and reform reflects a push to realign Thailand with global standards, aiming at fostering sustainable economic development.

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
Let me try to explain. The value of USD is determined by a basket of major currencies and shown on the Dollar Index (DXY) USD is at the top of the FOREX tree. Reserve and major currencies of the world have a one to one or direct relationship with USD so that when USD changes in value, those other major currencies change in value also. This gives us the major currency pairs such as GBP/USD, EUR/USD, USD/JPY and so on, all of which include USD in each pair. Minor currency pairs are the next level down the FOREX tree and they include pairs such as EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, GBP/CHF etc. The minor pairs are formed between currencies that have a direct one to one relationship with USD but exclude USD in the calculation. Last is the minor pairs or exotics and this includes USD/SGD, USD/HKD, USD/THB, GBP/INR. These are direct pairings between a major currency and a minor currency. Since not every minor currency has a direct relationship with every major currency, cross rates allow a minor or exotic currency such as THB, to be valued against a major currency such as GBP, via the value of USD. What you can see from the above is that whenever USD changes value, every other currency in the FOREX tree changes value also, to a lesser of greater degree, based on its direct or indirect relationship with USD. In the case of minor cross rate such as GBP/THB, that is calculated by multiplying USD/THB by USD/GBP. That means the impact of any value movement in USD, on GBP/THB, can be diluted by counter movements in both GBP and/or THB. Similarly, any movement in THB value can be countered by opposing movements in GBP and/or USD. All of which tries to explain that just because USD changes value to one degree, it may change value against other currencies to a completely different degree. -

90 Days Report after entering the country
In this thread, there is a message from Immigration that specifically mentions "in-person presentation". So that tells me that a mail filing might not work for that first one after returning, but would for subsequent reports. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331710-in-person-90-day-report-after-international-travel-required/ -

Lloyds International Bank Offshore
Just tried and first time when I clicked to ring my number said it had failed. Tried again and the number to input showed up but no call received on my mobile. So yes there are definite issues which weren't there the other week. Have you tried calling telephone banking to inform them?
