฿

The Land Department appraised price. Transfer fee and withholding tax are based on this figure.

฿

The actual sale price. Business tax and stamp duty use whichever is higher of this and the appraised value.

How many whole years the seller has held the property. Affects business tax and the withholding-tax deduction.

If the seller is an individual whose name has been in the house registration book (tabien baan) for more than a year, Specific Business Tax is exempt and stamp duty applies instead.

Cuts the transfer fee and mortgage fee to 0.01% for eligible homes worth ฿3 million or less. This is a temporary stimulus that may have expired — verify it is still in force.

Frequently asked questions

What are the fees to transfer land in Thailand?
The main costs are a 2% transfer fee on the appraised value, either 3.3% specific business tax or 0.5% stamp duty, withholding income tax, and a 1% mortgage fee if you register a loan. This calculator adds them up for you.
When is specific business tax charged instead of stamp duty?
Specific business tax of 3.3% applies when the seller has owned the property for less than five years. If ownership is five years or more, or the seller's name has been in the house registry over a year, stamp duty of 0.5% applies instead.
How is withholding tax on selling property calculated?
For an individual seller it uses the appraised value, deducts a standard expense based on years held, divides by the number of years, applies the progressive personal income tax brackets, then multiplies back — exactly the Land Department method this tool follows.
Who pays the land transfer fees, buyer or seller?
It is negotiable. In practice the transfer fee is often split 50/50, the seller usually bears business tax, stamp duty and withholding tax, and the buyer taking the loan pays the mortgage fee. Agree who pays in the sale contract.
Is the reduced 0.01% transfer fee still available?
The government has periodically cut transfer and mortgage fees to 0.01% for homes up to ฿3 million, but these measures are temporary and expire. Always confirm the current rate with the Land Department before budgeting.
