have you got yourself a LinkedIn profile? Get one of those going if not, list off your stuff. Maybe get some of your clients to make a recommendation on your profile. Provide the link as part of your portfolio.

@Ēad ******

do you work for a foreign none Thai company?

Can you get the documents they want and have the funds?That’s all your need to prove.

What does it matter?

@Kirilly *********

well they can’t tax using withholding tax as you’re not being paid by a Thai company. There’s no way for them to tax you till you declare it.

No idea where you have been reading but the Thai revenue service released a document earlier in 2024.

@Kirilly *********

it’s a bit more nuanced than that. Won’t be taxed twice as Thailand will only know when he submits a PND at the end of the financial year.

When submitting that assessment form they can declare the Uk tax paid, provide evidence and under the DTA the tax paid in the UK will be included in the tax liability calculation.

The tax paid in the Uk will be likely higher meaning the Thai assessment will determine no tax to be paid.

The big question is how Thai Revenue is going to know about him and how he will get a tax ID number to fill out the PND.

One other thing neglected is if you have already paid tax on it and your country has a double taxation agreement with then you may well not need to pay any tax on it.

Indeed it does but not all those 210,000 unsold condos are in the same place. They're also unsold which means they aren't owned so can't be rented out, so really has no impact on this discussion at all.

You seem to have completely missed the point as we're not talking about buying condos.

Perhaps before writing all up that you could spend 2 minutes to see who the YT dude is.. he's been here for over 3 years coming up to 4 years 😂

@Ned ******

what things doesn’t he understand? Having been in and around Thailand since the early 2000s and including having worked at Thai companies I myself didn’t see anything in the video that suggested he was talking about things he didn’t understand.

Whilst some of the video is clickbait he does have a point about all these “influencers” arriving and doing some crappy version of MTV Cribs whilst telling everyone they’re paying too much on rent whilst themselves paying over market price for a Bangkok Condo.

This impacts everyone long after they have gone including locals.
