Netherlands: 11-Year-Old Girl Fatally Stabbed in Broad Daylight, Syrian Man Arrested
How, in any supposedly civilised society, can a movement which tells, incites and even incentivises its followers to kill all non-believers be considered to be a religion? But the bigger problem is the point-blank refusal by Western governments to recognise the "religion of peace" for what it truly is and take effective steps to keep their citizens safe. There are so many killings now that, without effective protection from their governments, citizens in many Western countries may start to rise up against those they see as potential killers and that would be disastrous for law and order. Western governments need to recognise the extreme urgency of effectively dealing with this. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
I'm not sure TRD will give you a credit against your Thai tax bill if you paid taxes on your income in your home country. For example, I will pay taxes in Apr 2025 on all of my US income for tax year 2024. If I remitted some of that income to Thailand in 2024 and I owe taxes to TRD (by Mar 31), then the US will give me a tax credit against my US tax bill (using form 1116) when I file my US tax return in Apr 2025. That is what I have been told by several others on this forum. If you find out different, please let us know. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
The woman I spoke with at the TRD was clearly referring to situations like mine, where money has been transferred in from abroad during the year and qualifies as taxable income. I began the conversation with her by stating that I’m a retired resident and had transferred money into Thailand in 2024, which I needed to declare as taxable income and warranted filing a tax return. This was all in my original forum post. So when she mentioned the requirement to file if exceeding 180 days in the country, she already understood the context of my situation. She obviously knows there are cases where residents are not required to file, but she didn’t need to mention that because it didn’t apply to me, and frankly, I’m glad it doesn't because I do want to file. That said, as I discussed in a previous post, those who have taxable income and file tax returns might actually be in a better position down the line than those who don’t file at all. If someone doesn’t file for a few years and then gets questioned by the TRD or Immigration, they may have to get into a detailed discussion about the fact that they have only non-assessable income. At that point, the TRD could ask for proof. If the person cites double taxation treaties, they might find themselves at the discretion of the TRD at that point, which could still fine them or hold them liable for unpaid taxes. There could also be questions about how they are sustaining themselves financially in Thailand if their declared non-assessable income seems too low to live on. Where I’m going with this is that if someone can transfer in some money during the year that remains below the taxable threshold but still justifies filing a tax return, that might prove to be the best approach. Becoming part of the system by filing a tax return could be the safest long-term strategy to avoid unwanted attention. Otherwise, one might consider trying to obtain a tax clearance certificate from the TRD stating that they are not required to file. That would likely provide the cleanest protection from any potential issues in the future if questions ever arise. Of course, all of this is just speculation, and these concerns may never materialize, so there’s no need to panic. But it’s still good food for thought, as what we are seeing now may only prove to be the beginning of future changes to the Thai personal income tax laws for residents. -

Foreign motorcyclist flees Thailand after hit-and-run in Phuket - video
If that Russian woman in a car Rawai can kill two Thais on a motorbike, and then be back working in her Phuket office a month later, there is no hope for any repercussions here.
