Shares down sharply this morning currently trading around 33 bucks.

if there was going to be any kind of short term pop that would have been yesterday.The stock valuation always looked barmy but many (incl me) felt it would be carried up on a wave of euphoria.
The technical position for the stock now looks perilous, esp with a whole chunk of new sellers off the leash from end August and the buying support looking fragile. FWIW i suspect the shares will break below 38 over the next couple of days and there will be chances to buy in the 20,s (for those who want to) during this year.

The developer, Grande Asset has a pretty poor reputation refer to the Regent Residences thread on this forum or,as others have said check out Skyscraper city. Off plan buyers should be cautious.

The marketing is getting into gear for this project now. Noticed they feature in the property show at paragon on for the next few days. The big issue though is can enough people trust grande asset to finally deliver on this project after so many broken promises.

i think the point is an important one. It is perfectly possible and completely legal (as an expat in Thailand) to have a very considerable income from certain UK assets (excluding property) without paying any personal income tax (on this income) in the UK.

Could you explain this a bit more for us thickos? Posted Image

What about "earned" income?

Say you worked online, or flogged widgets to the UK from Thailand and were paid in £££ into a UK bank account. But all the work was carried out in Thailand.

How could you limit your tax liabilities in the UK? Posted Image

sorry if it was not clear but what i was referring to was the taxation on savings ie dividends and bank interest. As Darrel points out the taxation on earned income is a different story and is,in general, not avoidable.
However (FWIW) in the case you mention, that business sounds like it could/ should be treated as a Thai based company exporting directly to customers in the UK and invoicing them from Thailand, in which case the earnings/profits would be a matter for the Thai tax authorities.
