Fraud? You mean like the thousands here who use visa agents to pay bribes to immigration to get dodgy visa extensions? And the thousands who buy f@ke designer goods at markets? And the thousands who pay bribes to police officers because they don't have motorcycle licences? Excuse me whilst I ROFL! 😂😂😂

@Sefton *******

I should add I've now flicked the non-O and gone onto DTV, so no more recorded transfers. I now bring in cash which is untraceable. It's a beauty of a visa! Creating a "cash community" amongst expats. That'll f*ck up the Thai Tax Office 😂😂😂

@Sefton *******

That's your opinion and I respect that, but there's no way in the world I'll be handing over one baht in income tax to the Thai government. I have triple citizenship and my passports of UK, Germany and Australia are three of the most powerful and if anyone thinks for a moment I'm going to be led like an obedient sheep into grovelling to Thailand they are seriously deluded. Fortunately I have not succumbed like many expats into having multiple orgasms over getting a Pink card, blue book, yellow book, green book and any other rainbow coloured award Thailand gives to expats who wear them like badges of honour. As ex-military whose badge of honour is a Military Cross, it makes me vomit the way some expats grovel to Thailand. But heyho, if you're happy with your yellow book, it's all good! 😂

@Sefton *******

Agreed. And what equally stinks is the obsession of every country's government to tax people wherever they can. I'm a believer in the "user pays" system of taxation. Most things in Thailand attract a 7% government tax. If you use the roads you pay for the privilege, if you use trains or planes you pay additional taxes. There's high taxes on alcohol. Why should people be further taxed just for breathing the air in Thailand? We cannot escape income tax somewhere, and those of us who have paid tax in the country where the income is generated should be rightly aggrieved if another country wants to tax that same money further. The foreigners who stay the longest under the LTR visa are exempt from tax, so how does that figure?

@Sefton *******

Not everyone has a "legal obligation" to file a tax return. Tax returns are all about "assessable income". A lot of income is not assessable.

@Jesus ***

I can't see how it's "dangerous"! 😂😂. Look,if you're so keen and excited to be paying tax to Thailand, go for it!! I'll just sit back and laugh. Been here wayyyyyy too long to listen to the bs! 👍👍

@Winston ****

Ah ok. I thought you already had something in mind.
