9 April 2010

Welcome back to all our readers. We hope that you all had an enjoyable and safe Songkran. Our welcome back edition is an invitation to a full calendar of upcoming events starting today evening
 
* Do British expatriates now face higher tax bills?

On Tuesday 20th April 2010 from 6.30 pm arranged by the British Chamber of Commerce in Thailand

Guest Speakers:

- Paul Gambles, Managing Partner of MBMG Group (MBMG)
- Ted Spevick, KPMG in Thailand

British expatriates who still have connections with their homeland may face a challenge over their residency that could put them at the mercy of the taxman, say international accounting and consultancy firms.
Under the new guidance, UK tax authorities will scrutinise more closely the non-resident status of British citizens living overseas. Until last year, British expats could claim non-residency status if they spent no more than 91 days a year in the UK. UK residents are required to pay British taxes on their worldwide assets and income, whereas generally non-residents only pay UK tax on income that originates from UK sources.

Schedule:

6.00-6.30 pm - Arrival of guests for registration
6:30 pm - Networking begins (cocktail style)
7:00 pm - Presentation by guest speakers
7:45 pm - Question & Answer session
8:00 pm - Presentation ends
8.00-8:30 pm - Networking Continues

Next week sees the return to Thailand of S&P multi award winning portfolio manager, Scott Campbell who will be talking at events in both Bangkok and Pattaya on Aril 27th and then again in Bangkok on 28th and 29th.

Please contact us for more information or a personal invitation to any of the above events, space permitting.
