If you are buying a property that has already been commissioned or you are buying a property on the secondary real estate market, you need to obtain a copy of the Chanot for this property, check the registration of property rights Freehold (full private ownership) or Leasehold (long-term lease).

At the same time, the remaining part of the area can be purchased on the basis of a long-term lease with the possibility of extension. Later, when selling the apartment to another person in our projects, the term is reset.

Property owners in Thailand face 4 types of taxes:
1) One-time taxes when buying/selling property;
2) Property ownership tax;
3) Tax on income from resale of apartment;
4) Taxes on income from rental.
1) One-time taxes when buying/selling property:
- In long-term ownership (Leasehold), the buyer pays for contract registration - 1,1%.
- In full ownership (Freehold), the buyer pays 6,3% of the assessed value of the apartment.
2) Property ownership tax is 0,03% of the contract value of the property, but provided that the property is more expensive than 10 million baht. For example, if your property is worth 10,000,000 baht, then the ownership tax will be only 3,000 baht per year.
3) Tax on income from resale of housing:
In case of sale of property, it is necessary to pay SBT (Specific Business Tax) or Stump Duty, depending on the period of ownership of the property, as well as Income Tax.
If you owned the property for less than 5 years, you will need to pay the Specific Business Tax, which is 3,3% of the value, depending on which value was higher at the time of sale of the property.
If you owned the property for more than 5 years, you only need to pay Stump Duty - 0,5% of the value of the property.
At the time of registration of the purchase and sale transaction with the Land Office, you must pay Income Tax. If you are a taxpayer in Thailand (you have a Tax ID), then the rate of this tax is calculated based on a progressive scale (only the amount exceeding the upper limit of the range is taxed):
0 - 150,000 baht - 0%;
150,000 – 300,000 baht – 5%;
300,001 – 500,000 baht – 10%;
500,001 – 750,000 baht – 15%;
750,001 – 1,000,000 baht — 20%;
1,000,001 – 2,000,001 baht – 25%;
2,000,001 – 4,000,000 baht – 30%;
From 4,000,001 baht — 35%.
If you are not a taxpayer in Thailand (you do not have a Tax ID), then the tax on income from resale will be 15%.
4) Tax on income from renting out real estate.
The rate of this tax also depends on the tax residency status. Depending on this, the tax will be either 15% for non-residents, or will be calculated on a progressive scale for a resident (see the scale above).
It is worth noting that in Thailand there is a Withholding Tax, which is paid in advance. From each income received during the year, the state immediately withholds from 3% to 15%. The rate depends on the field of activity of the taxpayer and on the status.
How taxes are paid:
1. If your property is managed by a hotel operator or a management company, then it pays you rental income withholding income tax. In this case, the company acts as a tax agent and must pay everything for you. The company also has the opportunity to reduce the taxable base, which will reduce the amount of tax.
2. If you manage your property yourself, then you will have to pay income tax yourself. You will need to submit reports in the middle and at the end of the year.
Apartments are flats in a multi-apartment building. Joint ownership of any common property is excluded.
A condominium is a single complex of real estate, including a land plot, a residential building located on it and infrastructure. In this case, residential and commercial premises are owned or leased for a long time, and the common property is in common shared ownership.
A management company is responsible for maintaining the life of the condominium. The costs of managing the common property are divided in accordance with the share of the acquired living space. There are always rules of residence in a condominium, such as separate waste collection or standards for keeping pets.
