Krapow Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Getting an email from my gym saying they are going to open early July, with some required restrictions re hygiene, distancing etc. Happy days, another step in the right direction to some semblance of 'normality', or new normal, as it's being called.

There is a way to get away without paying US taxes for many years --- not many people have heard about it ... it was designed to at least collect some revenue from people that have lived overseas for may years .... Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures: The IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures (SFOP) are a program designed to bring certain individuals with undisclosed foreign income, investments, assets or accounts into IRS Offshore Compliance without issuing any penalties against the taxpayer. You need to file your tax returns for 3 prior years to the current year. Yes, the IRS is criminal ... one needs to learn to play by the same rules ... Sounds like you don't "LOVE" the taxman .. lol .. neither do I ... Edited July 9, 2020 by code_slayer_bkk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor detail, but the pension schemes I've contributed to used pre-tax dollars, so no double taxation when you withdraw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesitisdakid Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I love all the travel I left on the 27th of June spent the first three nights in Bangkok then three nights in kanchanaburi the next two nights in a ayutthaya then three nights in ubon ratchathani and I am currently on my third night in khon kaen. It's been great add a chance to see the whole Countryside still got new Udon Thani and Nong khai to visit. Then the last three nights in Bangkok and home little over 3 weeks. In a couple of weeks I'm leaving to do the south of Thailand Samui has been dead but it's starting to open up again and there are great values Hotel wise to be had. And all of this because I don't have to be anywhere at any given time. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
