Can somebody help me with this: we just wanted to buy some land on our child’s name. The person who own the land showed me the red chanote for the land already. On the back of the chanote it is recorded that he bought this land 25 year ago from somebody else. But on the front of the chanote there is still the name from the first owner of the land. Is this normal and why is this not possible to change this name on the front and put the actual owner inside there?

Ok guys I don’t know if you read my last post but she is my legal daughter, we have gotten the document from the district office already. Please don’t advice me anymore on how to make my daughter legal, I told you already she was granted my legal daughter at the district office, I have the document already. And yes there is a gift tax, even if some of you never heard of it. The gift tax is real since feb 2016. If anybody understands the gift tax 100% please explain, thank you in advance. Don’t post the link to the websites, I have read them already, I just want to know when do you have to pay gift tax in general. Does the receiver have to pay for every baht 10% if it is over their income tax-free allowance. And I am not planning to send the money for the house to my girlfriend, I wanted to take care that myself but the land department office told us like that. That’s why I am asking here if this is right what they are saying or not because I couldn’t believe this to be true.

I am the legal father granted by district office. If anybody knows the rules here for gift tax in general (giving money to a non family member to purchase something) please let me know. Don’t post links from all the sites which explain it, I read it already and as I understand it they have to pay gift tax of 10% for any baht you send to a non family member if it is over their 0% income tax bracket.

Ok things like that really scare me off. I will think about it again. Just one more thing in general: If you move money to a Thai national (not family member), does he have to pay gift tax then? How I understand the law is that every Bath over the tax free income tax bracket is taxed at 10% gift tax or am I wrong? Is there really no tax exemption if I move for example 300,000b to a Thai national and it will be used to purchase something.

I live here for 7 years, I am the legal father. But the risks you tell me are true and I am aware of that. I was married once, not planning to marry ever again. Not about the mother.

We want to live in a house, you understand? And I can’t own a house, but my daughter can. Of course there are some risks, I know that. But another option I don’t have. Leasing is not an option for me too.

I chose the construction company, not her. My girlfriend was not even with me. The manager didn’t even know what the rules are, so they called in the land department office and asked what we have to do. The lady on the phone told her that my daughter can own the house but the money should come from the mother.

I have read that already. As far as I understand it all the exemptions do not count for me and the 100m baht only counts in case of inheritance, not gift. Is that right?

Hi, I would like to buy a house for my Thai daughter (4 year old). She has a passport from my home country as well. I am not married to the mother. The construction company told us that my girlfriend should buy the house for our daughter. Why can I not buy it for her? If I move money to my girlfriend, do we have to pay gift tax because we are not married? Thanks for any help in advance!
