@Erik ******

fair enough, but I am YET to be classified as a Foreign Tax Resident, was the Commonwealth Bank for reference. 🤐

@Michael ******

hey mate, spoke here with my Bank Manager face to face today and asked him about this situation and his answer was that they have no knowledge of it and do not participate in any such scheme; which is what I thought and said to you.

So for ME at least, I am not on the radar.

@Tracey *******

correct! 👍🏾

@Robert *********

Crap! Do more research 🤦🏽‍♂️

@Erik ******

I guarantee THEY do not have access to my Banking information in my home country.

@Michael ******

agreed, but still relies on the citizens country sharing information for the purposes of taxation in a foreign country for that country’s benefit, I can’t see it being a slam dunk.

Wait, watch and observe, not going to affect me as I will be in receipt of a pension in my native country and is not subject to taxation by reciprocal law agreement in the new amendment proposal…

As I said earlier Shiawatra can’t form a government at present, by the time and IF she can, another political party will challenge and we could be back to Junta rule by then. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽

Looks like the Thai Government would NEED the help of the governments from a lot of other countries that already have their hands full trying to govern and collect taxes in their own domains without assisting a foreign country a few hundred thousand of their citizens live in.

Wait, watch and observe!!!

Things move slowly in the corridors of Thai Government!

Here we go again!!! Read the article, it is still PROPOSED! Not implemented and NOT likely given that Shinawatra can’t even form a government! So how and who is going to administer and collect said taxes???

The Revenue department will need to obtain information from the Immigration department to ascertain WHO is a person meeting the 180 days criteria, let alone the shenanigans of loopholes that currently exist.

FACT, these proposed AMENDMENTS are just that, proposed and until they have been ratified and published in the Royal Gazette, they are just words filling the air from the mouth of a Politician who is seeking some political clout and their name in the Media.

@Us ****

more even!

$ a night for 3 star accommodation??? You are a tripper!!!

You are over inflating prices to suit whatever narrative you are trying to entertain to get likes.

5 Star QT Hotel in Perth is currently $278 PER Night!!!

So there goes your story.
