  1. For about the millionth time, this old fart has walked away from an ATM without collecting my debit card. I can no longer use the excuse "it should be card first then money like back home" - that just gets my better half's eyes rolling even faster! Has anyone discovered a foolproof method? Is it possible to get out cash from an ATM that isn't operated by my bank using a phone/mobile banking app, for instance? I think the family are planning to have me committed - especially as I drove all the way to the bank (40 mins) and forgot my passport and bank book!! LOL
  2. Turned the router off and on again - working now. Odd....
  3. If so, can you login to NatWest Online https://www.onlinebanking.natwest.com/Default.aspx using a browser (NOT the App)?
  4. Yep. I’m sure that this method of communicating to Flash etc will work.
  5. You couldn’t make this <deleted> up, could you? 😂 How about the government urge companies like CP to stop burning vast acres of land to grow corn for HFCS?!? It’s companies like CP that are killing the population in more than one way….
  6. If that is correct (and I am FAR from being an expert) then I would be double taxed - which obviates the premise of the DTA, right?
  7. I understand that Mike. However it is far from clear, in the DTA at least, that I must ALSO pay tax in Thailand on earnings already taxed in the UK.
  8. I am from the UK, I have pensions (State and SIPP) that I draw down into Thailand. I live permanently in Thailand (i.e. I do not have any home in the UK). I have read the DTA applicable to the UK (You can find it here: https://www.rd.go.th/english/766.html) According to this DTA (Article 4, Fiscal Domicile) I am a tax resident of Thailand. That is, my Contracting State is Thailand. Now, according to Article 16, 'Dependent personal services', of the DTA, my income (aka my employment) is exercised in the Other Contracting State, which is the UK. Paragraph 1 states that such remuneration may be taxed in the UK. And it most certainly is, of course. Nowhere does it state that I will be taxed in Thailand UNLESS, if I understand paragraph 2 correctly, I live in the UK for up to 183 days in a fiscal year. I have typed out Article 16 below, with my interpretations on what is meant for Contract State and Other Contracting State as it applies to me. As far as I can decipher, i am NOT expected to pay tax in Thailand. However, I WILL be applying for my Taxpayer Identification Number next week, and I will get prepared to submit a Return if necessary. Article 16 Dependent personal services Subject to the provisions of Articles 19 (Governmental services) and 21 (Teachers), salaries, wages and other similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State (THAILAND) in respect of an employment (I am including pension here) shall be taxable only in that state unless the employment is exercised in the other Contracting State (UK). If the employment is so exercised, such remuneration as is derived therefrom may be taxed in that other State (UK). Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article, remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State (THAILAND) in respect of an employment exercised in the other Contracting State (UK) shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State (THAILAND) if: The recipient is present in the other State (UK) for a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in the fiscal year concerned; and The remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of the other State (UK); and The remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment or a fixed base which the employer has in the other State (UK) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, remuneration in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship or aircraft in international traffic may be taxed in the Contracting State (THAILAND) in which the place of effective management of the enterprise is situated
  9. Couldn't agree more. When I have the choice of a 27" computer screen, or a 7" phone screen, the computer wins every time. I have no problems with Brave now that I have cleared the cache (thanks zyphodb) and the only time I use the phone is to check messages.
  10. This is weird and as a last resort I'm asking if anyone else has seen this and, ideally, resolved it too. When trying to view "My Orders" on Lazada using the Brave browser, I see everything BUT my orders! I mean the page loads, the "My Orders" heading appears, but the actual orders do not. I have no problem viewing "My returns" or "My Cancellations". Similarly, if I copy and paste the order number into "Track my Order", I can see that order. I have no problems using Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The issue persists with Shields UP or DOWN.
  11. Yeah good question, and to be honest I don't know. I can understand why a buyer would want to pay COD, and I can understand, to a certain extent why a seller would not want to use that option. I guess it's a case of keep looking until you find one close to go and see...
