Trump Just Pulled Out Of The Debate
Your recollection sucks then. Bigly. Canadian football league or cfl for short. Calgary stampeeders is one of the highest winning teams in league history. In fact they are more popular than the hockey team. Oh ya and also they have different rules and field set up. Different game altogether. To my recollection of course. -

Yet people on the left are claiming Trump lied about his weight, and that that should disqualify him. I don't care that she's a pot-head, or even that she does not seem really bright, I do care that she's a hard-leftist at best, and more likely a Marxist like her parents. So I'm going with the convicted felon capitalist. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I don't dispute what you posted. But I add to that, (and I have typed this before) that the translation for Royal Decree 743 (on the LTR visa) states "Governing Reduction of Tax Rates and Exemption of Taxes". Note the word "exemption" . It does not translate to "Non-assessable for taxes". It clearly does NOT translate that way. Then read the text for Royal Decree 743 (on the LTR Visa). Section-5 for the Wealthy Global Citizen and for the Wealthy Pensioner, and for the Work from Thailand Professional, translates to state they "shall be exempted ... for assessable income under section-40 of the Revenue code derived in the previous year from an employment or business carried on abroad, or from a property situated abroad, and brought into Thailand". Note the word "exempted". The points people make here in the Royal Decree 743 are: (1) "exempted for assessable" income may not be NOT the same as "not-assessable" income. If it was not-assessable, why not simply state "not assessable". Instead "exempted for assessable" was translated. Was this something lost in translation? Typically if an item has tax exemption, it is listed on an income tax return, and then subtracted from the assessable income. The Thai tax forms have a specific form where tax exempt income is to be listed. (2) also, in the Royal Decree note the words "income ... derived in a previous year ... and brought into Thailand". Some are worried that it is written that way with the intent to force those on the LTR (WP and WGC) to bring their income into Thailand in the year it was earned (so not to pay tax) ... with a concern that in the future, its possible foreign income earned abroad and not brought it, could be taxed if one a Thai resident. That is NOT the case today, but the head of the Revenue department has stated that is what he wants to implement. However, as I noted, a discussion my wife had on the phone with the local Revenue Department official was that even as a resident, if the foreign income was not brought into Thailand, it did not have to be taxed in Thailand and an income tax return not needed. Hence for the moment, I think there is no concern there (if foreign income not brought into Thailand) - but it is something to watch carefully. Further, the Royal Decree 743 section 6 states "A foreigner .... must meet qualifications and comply with rules, procedures and conditions as prescribed by the Director General of the Revenue Department." I believe nominally, the section-6 " rules, procedures and conditions", together with one having an income over a certain amount of money, together with one being a Thai resident (by staying >180 days in Thailand) means that one may need to file a Thai tax return. Again, I note LTR foreign income is to be 'tax exempt'. However the LTR visa does not clearly state "not-assessable" income. I think those on LTR-WP/WGC visa all hope the Thai to English translation "exempted ... for assessable income" means "not-assessable income" - but we are dealing with translations and different words - where words can have meanings. So, NOW, another point ... further, on Royal Decree 743 section 7, the translation states "In the case that a foreigner has applied tax reduction or exemption under this Royal Decree, and later does not comply with rules described in Section-3, 4, 5, and 6 in any tax year, benefits will be suspended in that tax year." ie. what some of us are watching, since the Royal Decree 743 states those on WP/WGC are tax exempt but does not state "tax not-assessable" will we need to file a tax return? (even thou we will pay no tax? ) . The risk is if the Thai RD assesses a tax return is still needed, and we don't file a return, then Clause-7 implies our tax exempt benefits for a given tax year will be lost. I don't know the answer here. This is something we all need to watch. I set up my finances such that I can go for more than a couple of years in Thailand and not bring in any money, and by then, I hope there will be more clarification for those of us on the LTR WP/WGC visa. Further, I was required by a couple of Canadian institutions to provide a Thailand TIN. One even froze one of my Canadian trading accounts (that had a very substantial amount of money in it). I was able to unfreeze it (for the moment) by providing my "pink-ID" number with a caveat that the TIN was not yet activated by Thailand. And my wife had that confirmation (that my pink-ID not activated yet as a TIN) over the phone when chatting with a local Thailand Revenue Department official - who even questioned why I wanted a tax ID. I still have not resolved whether I will get an activated Thai TIN. The local RD official was to phone my wife back, and he has not done so. Every few weeks I check to see if my pink-ID has been activated as a TIN, and it has not. Depending on what I read (or do not read) on this topic of tax returns, I may in February fill in a Thai tax return in mid-February next year, and hand deliver it to the local Thai RD office. I have not decided yet on that. I may not do that. I will be out of country in March/April, so February is my only opportunity to do such - and I have not decided on that. My hope, like I think 95% (my figure) of others on the LTR-WP/WGC, is that no Thai tax return is needed, as it is just a bunch of extra possibly needless paper work for everyone. Needless paperwork for us, and needless paper work for the Thai RD. -
