Thailand housing costs, ask for help.

When transferring property in Thailand, you need to pay the following taxes and fees to the Thai land department:

1, transfer fees: 2% of the total house price. The buyer and the seller shall bear half, and the buyer shall pay 1%.

2. Special business tax: 3.3%. Owners who have held the property for more than 5 years or have registered permanent residence in the property for more than 1 year may be exempted.

3. stamp duty: 0.5%. If the special business tax has been paid, there is no need to pay stamp duty.

4. Individual income tax: It varies according to whether the holder is an individual or a company. When the holder is a company, the personal income tax is 65438+ 0% of the registered selling price or the appraised value (whichever is higher). If the holder is an individual, personal income tax shall be calculated at progressive tax rate according to the appraised value of real estate.

In short, the total tax on buying a house in Thailand is about 6.3%, which is shared by buyers and sellers. When buying a new house, you only need to pay 1% or 2% of it, and the rest will be borne by the developer. If the house has been transferred to the owner and then changed hands, the 6.3% tax will be shared by the buyer and the seller through consultation, generally 50% each.

Taxes and fees are calculated according to the appraisal of the property by the land department, and the appraisal is usually slightly lower than the purchase price. Taxes and fees shall be paid when the property is officially transferred.

In addition to the transfer tax, the property tax will be paid every year after the transfer. The property tax on the apartment is 0.02%. When the villa is held as a Thai company, the commercial part gets 0.3% and the self-occupied part gets 0.02%. Thailand's property tax is relatively small and will not become a burden.

The following additional fees shall be paid when handing over the house:

1. Property fee: used for the maintenance of real estate and public environmental facilities, calculated according to the apartment area. The cost varies from project to project, generally 8~ 10 RMB/flat/month, once a year.

2. Maintenance fund: used for future maintenance or improvement projects, such as repainting external walls. One-time payment when handing over the house, the amount is determined according to the apartment area, usually 100 yuan/flat.

3. Installation cost of water and electricity meter: generally about 2000 yuan.

Generally speaking, these costs are relatively small. Buying a house in Thailand is also relatively simple. Finding a reliable intermediary company can provide all-round services, including pre-sale, mid-sale and after-sale.
