Trump Criticizes Gov. Newsom’s Wildfire Management Amid Devastating California Fires
The latest bit I just heard from the LA City Fire Chief was that the DWP (Department of Water and Power) is responsible for the hydrants. Ok, deflect. For many who are not familiarl with Los Angeles the DWP is a city agency that provides water and electricity. The DWP has a questionnalbe history. The current DWP CEO is paid $750,000 per year + benefits. Just amazing. I would recommend that Joe Biden bail out California before Jan 19. -

David Lammy Criticizes Sajid Javid for Remarks on Ethnicity of Grooming Gangs
Lammy is an idiot. The grooming gangs were nearly all Pakistani. So call it out and deal with the issue, you can’t just say that stating the origin of the gangs is racist. if you don’t understand the cause of the problem, then you will never fix it. Left wing madness sadly. -

Palisades Fire in LA has zero containment
Yes. For hurricanes. They are actually more devastating than wildfires. Cover more ground. I haven't researched and don't know if the state of Florida has a mandated insurance maximum rate that insurers must adhere to. I believe I have heard that is the case in California but if someone knows for sure feel free to correct me. I think one can still get coverage in Florida just not covering hurricane damage. Lucky me I live in Arizona. Biggest threat really is HEAT. So unless my house melts I should be good. 😃 -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
as far as i know, only a few DTA really befits a tax residence as good as the DTA for people from the us ... my friends and my DTA from my home country is useless, except you have been a government employee ... -

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
I believe that statistics show that more people voted for someone other than Trump . Seems to be that there a lot of extremely defensive "winners' on this forum.... -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
TRD options appear to be: Say/do nothing: Puts stress on TRD offices and staff but results in increased tax filing volume. Uncertainty and lack of clarity persists but no loss of face. Over time, filing gains transaction and becomes status quo or is ignored and reverts to past behaviour (improbable, I suggest). Say Something: Risks greater confusion/foot in mouth, opens many cans of worms. Link to Visa Extension/Issuance: Game over -

Trump Criticizes Gov. Newsom’s Wildfire Management Amid Devastating California Fires
I've posted this elsewhere and it's still a thought I have. Could this actually be a terrorist attack? Something IMO I think shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. If anyone thinks 100% this is nonsense please explain why don't just respond with a laughing/confused emoji. p.s. New fire has just broken out in the west hills. 6:30 Thai time 15:30 CA time.- 1

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
As you mentioned expattaxthailand, I will provide an update on their very clear opinion about the treatment by RD of U.S. retirement accounts (IRAs Roth and Traditional / 401ks). -- They are viewed as NOT excluded PENSIONS if income from them (withdrawals) is remitted -- The value as of December 31, 2023 of such accounts is irrelevant and not in any way excluded from Thai tax going forward. They are NOT treated the same way as saved money in a bank account at that date (of which funds are EXCLUDED from Thai tax if remitted) -- The FULL AMOUNT of withdraws from such accounts is subject to Thai tax if remitted to Thailand. The underlying investment vehicles in such accounts (stocks, bonds, etc.) is totally irrelevant and can not be accounted for based on a profit loss basis as can regular investments NOT in retirement accounts. We have heard strong opinions here totally countering the above. But please rather than just express such opinions, back this up with your source. As far as I know we have no statement from RD on this matter of great interest to many American retired expats. Of course expats in this stew of ambiguity are free to make a more advantageous reading of this situation and for example ignore the guidelines mentioned above. Then it would be up to them to defend their view upon audit and maybe that would fly at RD offices. If you visit a Thai tax lawyer and get opinions either agreeing or disagreeing with the opinion above, by all means post about that. Don't shoot the messenger. -
