Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

I do watch Ben's videos sometimes, not sure the 'expert' in the headline is apt concerning this particular topic but I think he is right in that a lot of this has been presented as a fait accompli and a huge marketing oppurtunity for 'tax consultants' all over expat media, for example the KBank emai...

Re: Small appliance repairs

This shop was very good when I went, fixed a PSU for me, reflowed all solder, changed caps etc, not sure on larger white goods but anything else should be fine. See attachement for google address/reviews etc.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Good point, my UK accountant was also involved, and it was to do with self assessment, not regular old PAYE I went through the process of getting a UTR earlier this year - or rather my tax advisor in the UK did for me.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

A gree with your take on this. There was a scare piece in ThaiVisa this morning something along the lines of 'OMG It's Happening' and quoting some official.

Yes of course you will not find anywhere that will rent you a property without a passport copy either broker or individual unless they are incredibly shady. They are legally obliged to report your sta...

Re: Trustworthy house brokers?

No experience with that particular agent but in general here you should get a rental contract in English and Thai that you can review and request any amendemnts to before completing the rental transaction. For houses/pool villas around here worth paying attention to: 1. Is gardening and /or pool cle...
