Tax associated with rental agreement?

[mikesil]

I am attempting to assemble every conceivable document needed for a one year extension of Non-O based on marriage. I seem to recall a recent post reporting that the rental agreement was rejected because the tax had not been paid.  Poster said he had to run into town and pay 30 baht.

 

Does anyone know anything about this, eg. where is the tax paid?

It is tax stamps you get. You can get them at various places.

Here is what is on mine.

Tax stamps can be purchased at the Revenue Department. Probably also at the nearest Amphur.

Is this needed in Bangkok? I never had this in CM but doing extension next week in Bangkok, I need to stick some tax stamps on my lease agreement? I already have TM30?

Think that might have been a Power of Attorney, perhaps associated with a TM30 filing, by the foreigner/tenant on behalf of the Thai landlord?

 

But here it does list a "lease" as an instrument liable to stamp duty...

2. Instruments liable to stamp duty

 

The instruments liable to stamp duty include, inter alia, transfers of land, a lease, stock transfers, debentures, mortgages, life assurance policies, annuities, power of attorney, promissory notes, letters of credit, travelers cheques.

 

Note the rate of stamp duty. 

 

I remember ages ago having some fee to cash travelers checks, like 30 baht plus 3 baht, with the latter being a stamp duty.

 

 

Wonder if you just buy the stamps once, for one original lease document, and then photocopying is OK? Or do you need them for every copy?

In another thread it seemed like a copy of a lease might have to have one or two 5 baht stamps, while the original may require 1 baht/1000 (0.1 %).
