I am in a rural area where there are thousands (literally) working in construction & agriculture.
Thailand needs these people that work for 5,000 Bht a month & a roof over their head (If you can call it a roof).
The Government has no idea of the numbers up here working in the fields, or do they & just do not want to rock the boat ?????
With regard to the LTR visa, the translations I have read of the Royal Decree state that foreign assessable income is tax exempt for certain categories of LTR visa holders.
From what I read the Royal Decree for the LTR visa does not state foreign income is "not assessable". Rather its tax exempt.
Does that difference in terminology matter? I don't know, but I suppose it might.
It also could be quality of unofficial translations of the Royal Decree is inaccurate.
So its not yet clear to me if a Thai tax return will be required for assessable but tax exempt income. I hope a tax return is not required.
I have an LTR-WP and until this is resolved I am not remitting money to Thailand. I am fortunate that the structure of my finances allows me to do such for a while.
