Understanding the Land Office Fees

When transferring property in Thailand, the total government fees and taxes usually range between 4% and 7% of the property’s registered value. How these costs are shared is entirely negotiable, though a 50/50 split between buyer and seller is the standard market practice in Hua Hin.

  • Transfer Fee: 2% of the government appraised value.

  • Specific Business Tax (SBT): 3.3% of the registered or appraised value (whichever is higher). Imposed if the seller has owned the property for less than 5 years.

  • Stamp Duty: 0.5% (Exempt if the Specific Business Tax applies).

  • Withholding Tax: A progressive income tax withheld from the seller at the time of transfer.
