    to my knowledge is still unchanged since 2021 until today

    Cheers, got the top box rack fitted today, have lost the ability to prop open the fuel seat which is not a problem.

    Getting the top crash bars fitted next week, hopefully they will fit.

    Had the 700cc back in 2015, can't remember what it was like, this 750cc is fantastic.

    Not sure if this question fits here, but I will give it a try.

    Is it possible to pause tax and all that on a bike in Thailand?

    In Sweden for example, you can put it on hold and only pay a registration fee every year. Less than the equivalent to 200 THB. And in Thailand the same would be like 50 THB/year if it exist. Anything like that here?

    Plenty of transport testing stations about, pop in and ask them.

    I wouldn't worry about it. There are lots of people similar to you who have spent their entire working lives never needing to understand tax because everything was taken care for them by the government and their employer. Which is really why we we're doing what we we're doing in these threads and by producing the simple guide. Ultimately however, the subject can never be reduced to truly simple terms because it can be complicated for some. Which is why we desperately need these discussions to be simplified and focussed and not keep going round in circles, talking about airy fairy aspects that are nothing more than distractions that confuse a majority of people.

    Explained very well, I shouldent need worries especially about tax, tax has always been taken care of for me, now it seems to be a big worry, I'm just a simple person living off 3 pensions which are all taxed in the UK before being sent here, I need life to be simple in order to enjoy life, oh well carry on regardless.

  4. Could anyone give me an idea how much a 7 year old Z900SE would be worth.

    It's Immaculate(red and silver) like new with 15000kms it has extras, they wouldn't make the bike more expensive.

         I'm not filing in 2024 because all the money I remitted to Thailand in 2023 is shielded, so no need to file.  I'm not filing in 2025 because I plan to bring no money into Thailand in 2024, so no need to file.  I'm not filing in 2026 because if I bring any money into Thailand in 2024 it will be pre-2024 savings, which are shielded, so no need to file.  I will only be filing in the next few years if it becomes a requirement for Immigration.

    Confused which isn't hard for me.

  6. I've now been told that the bike is in the wife's name(she is in Thailand and not far from me) I'm sure now the bike can be made legal easily, we have a Satalite transport place close by, its safe at my house untill the wife sorts it.

    Helping others can sometimes become complicated, I am retired with time on my hands so it's not a problem.

    As usual with the Thais, this has not been thought out too well! If they tax all incoming remittances, who is going to bring money into Thailand to start a business or invest in anything here?

     

    As for taxing pensions from other countries, that we worked all out lives for, and which have already been taxed at source..... goodbye Thailand.

    Some of us me in particular have no where else to go, I'm unable to relocate this is where I live.

    Similar here, but that 900,000 is taxed already in your home country before you get it? My biggest problem with this is it is NOT income, as a salary, but pensions we PAID FOR all our lives. I am thinking of opening a bank account in the Philippines and using an ATM card here if it comes to it.

    Yes you are correct about working all our lives to get a pension, yes we pay tax in our home country, all I want is peace of mind if that should cost me approx 2700bht per month I would gladly pay it.

     

  9. I am completely in the dark about this new Tax on ex-pats, no idea if it will be scrapped or not, my 3 pensions add up to 900,000bht per year, with all the discounts I would get(I'm 67)  I think it would go down to about 400,000bt taxable income per year (I'm probably wrong) but if I'm right that would be 33000 x 12 =400,000, which would be 2,750bht per month, I know its probably tottaly wrong, I'm just trying to convince myself I have nothing to worry about money wise, I would have no problem paying 2,750 per month tax If I have to.

    Is this tottaly wrong, I am a person that wants to do the right thing, peace of mind is everything to me.

    Is there an existing plate.

    No need for new plate.

    Was the green book officially transferred to your buddy's name.?

    If not, then report it stolen w/ police and apply for new a LT office.

    What provence.?

     

    Yes bike has a plate and yes all was done correctly.

    Phuket.

    3 years after that, it's a long process, new book, new plates, can take days if not longer.

    Well it's not my problem, it's down to them, I'm just helping them as much as I can.

    It continues to be registered, you will just need to pay any back tax and any fees, oh yes and police fines if applicable 

    This is on a really nice Z900SE it was mine from new, I sold it to my friend but he then got a job abroad and the bike has been sitting under cover, think its 5 or 6 years old now, the other problem is he has split with his wife and she wont let the log book go, I'm now looking after the bike untill they decide what they are going to do with it, it's only done 15000kms.
