So, easy solution:

Just feel free to bribe the tax official if they ever want your taxes.

Where is the problem? 

There is problem for people who see it. Corrupted states have pros/cons.

Any views on the likelihood of Thailand actually going ahead with the announced plan to not only tax remitted, but global income regardless of remittance?  Thanks.

There have been many views on this ranging across all parts of the spectrum from will happen soon to no chance. However since there has been no new official news it is all pure speculation.

Even a small separate thread - https://aseannow.com/topic/1337570-world-wide-income-taxation-update/

If you want to debate this issue with me, you must try harder to remain focussed on the things being discussed

Shouldn't the guidance for this thread come from the OP? (chuckle, chuckle)

The OP is alas missing in action... or is he?

The trolling by you three has been going on for months and is getting real old, real fast, it takes any enjoyment out of trying to participate and help folks with tax questions. You're having too much fun to quit or to leave so I guess the only way to escape it and preserve the discussion on tax is for me to go, which appears to be what you want. The last time I quit the forum was about seven years ago, because of trolls and idiots, it seems that some things here never change.

 

I hope you feel proud of your achievements.

Ah, the disruptors are back at it. When you can't engage in meaningful dialogue, you resort to disruption and chaos—because thoughtful discussion clearly isn't your strong suit. Time and again, 'chiangmai' has proven you, the so-called CPA from the USA, wrong. It’s time you step aside and let those with real insight carry the conversation, rather than interrupting with your desperate attempts for attention. It's become truly embarrassing.

Agreed.

Having said that, Gant is actually useful, if repetitive.

Others of the disruptors are just so boring I don't read them anymore.

I have again had to removed posts that seem obsessed with discussing other posters and not the topic. If you have a different opinion then challenge in the topic.

 

All that is achieved by discussing other posters is that your posts and all replies are removed and any good, valid points you have are lost.

Other posters like 'stat' seems to think we're all impressed by his self-proclaimed title of "consultant." It's just another case of an overblown ego and arrogance.

The author of a post is far less important than the information being conveyed. Most evaluate posts based on their content and facts, not on who wrote them. Making assumptions about the author’s identity, especially when the post is accurate and well-written, is a clear attempt to derail the discussion. Frankly, it’s getting tiresome.

So from your point of view it's ok to use multiple accounts and post under different names as long as content is valuable? It's not.

Responding to this would only take the discussion further off-topic and away from the point of this thread.

Air tickets,  revisited:

Buying a ticket out of Thailand to the US and paying with my foreign CC may or may not be a remittance,  this has been discussed extensively,  at least 3 times. So please don't start this discussion again.

 

What if someone else, living abroad,  pays with their foreign CC? I wouldn't even have to reimburse them,  they owe me money. 

 

IIRC, this also has been discussed a long time ago,  and the answer was,

- in the UK, HMRS would consider this a remittance

- in Thailand, probably too

- this would effectively mean all tickets out  of  Thailand are taxed,  and someone recommended to fly to a neighboring country first,  and buying the long-haul ticket there 

 

Do I remember correctly?
