its been no rules weed for over a year and everything is fine. the world didnt explode. maybe it isnt so bad?

no thanks, i'll take lower cost of living and coruption over "clean" energy and public healthcare that I can't access.

Yes, it absolutely is a taxable event under the new system.

People openly smoke cigs and drink alcohol in bars and restaurants where there are children inside. What is the difference?

That isn't how DTA works. If you are a tax resident with assessable income, you are still going to have to file a tax return in thailand. you wil also need to translate and validate swiss documents, so you are going to have to hire an accountant. this can't be a bog standard thai accountant that deals just with thai tax returns. I'm honestly shocked how financially illiterate everyone here is.

fewer and fewer places in the world where you can escape the globalists.

If you stay more than 180 days a year, no. You will be required to fill a yax return and pay tax on any money remitted per the DTA agreements with any other tax jurisdiction you also fall under

holding out hope Thai Elite gets some special rules

No, that isn't how it works. A DTA doesn't make you tac exempt. You still have reporting requirements in 2 places and will need to fill tax returns in Thailand. This means translating documents, hiring an accountant, submitting tax forms every year to RD. Have you read your specific DTAs? Many of them just specify who has first rights to tax, not exclusive taxation rights. In many DTAs you will pay tax in both countries and rhe country with first rights on tax will provide a credit you can apply to the second country to prevent being taxed on the same income twice. If the rates in the second country are different, you pay the difference. Thaikand has much lower income bands than a lot of other countries, so many people will pay twice in both areas. It all depends on the DTAs but regardless, everyone will have a burden of dealing with more paperwork and beauracracy Also a lot of people have income that isn't covered by a DTA

She is wrong and doesn't know <deleted> all about taxes.

It affects everyone as now all expansion here 180+ will have reporting requirements to the thai tax office. That means hiring an accountant, getting documents translated into thai, more paperwork and hassles, and potentially more tax liability. Nobody is safe from this

It is a remittance and would be assessable income. Transferring money or withdrawing from ATM is essentially the same here.

the current system is fine. they made weed legal and the world didn't fall apart. the less government involved the better.

the competition is what caused thailand to shoot up in the rankings for quality fiber. this is going to stagnate the market with a duopoly forming between AIS vs True

so worldwide taxation, no more pot, and chinese police patrolling soi cowboy this new government is absolute <deleted>e and i'm surely missing Prayut and the old boys club now
