NEXT EXPAT CONNECTION - MARCH 28 DUANGTAWAN HOTEL - 3RD FLOOR 9:45 - 10:30 - Coffee/Tea/Snacks/Sponsors 10:30 - 12:00 Meeting The next Expat Connection will be Saturday, March 28, at the Duangtawan Hotel. Peter Bell is putting the final touches on the program, the details keep on coming. Thomas Carden, our trusted friend from American International Tax Advisers, will be joining us, and will be bringing another AIT expert on Thai tax issues, Miss Patcha Ingkudanonda. She will discuss the
interpretation of Thai tax law regarding foreign income, ensuring that attendees comprehend that not all funds remitted into Thailand are subject to taxation. Additionally, she will clarify the tax consequences associated with foreigners transferring money to a Thai spouse or partner. Her presentation will be grounded in practical insights derived from actual cases that have been reviewed and audited by the Thai Revenue Department. Consequently, attendees will gain
knowledge of both Thai tax law and international tax treaties. Also on the program, will be our resident scam avoidance artist, Rick Hahn. Scams have been around forever. "Snake-oil salesman" and "smoke and mirrors" are terms from the 1800's. But now the scammers are much better - and have very sophisticated tools. They can find you from the other side of the world. Did you know that the scam Centers just a few hundred miles from here steal over
$10 billion from the people of the United States alone? We will show you how you can avoid becoming a victim. We also have a speaker coming from Bangkok Hospital. Details are coming, but a little birdie said it has to do with vision related to seniors and aging. More on this soon. Use this button to purchase your tickets.
