This is my first post so I'm not sure if this will work.

I bought a house using Thai nominees. Each year (for the past three) I have paid my legal agent 15,000 baht for tax purposes. Yesterday, I visited the tax offices and they told me on average I have paid 180 baht per year in tax which means 14,020 for my lawyers. Is there a cheaper alternative? What does my lawyer do for 14,000?

Am in the same situation, been paying solicitor 15k every year for balance sheet, now gone up to 16k. I too wander what they do to justify that amount but that must be the going rate. He also mentioned something about land tax to me last time I spoke to him which could be as much as 20k a year

I went to Land Office at Sattahip after I changed the name of my company: it cost me 25 baht to register. There must be 100s of farang company/householders in the same boat; WHY NO REPLIES?

It's the going rate, it varies between 8,000 to 20,000 THB for non trading companies. They do your accounting, including an official examination of the accounts and filing the accounts.

The company route is a scam, so why are the scammer's surprised that they are being scammed ?

What a great post! I can see that you know what you are talking about, really to the point and helpful and in bold too!

It is not a scam. Take it as an extra annual land rent to hush inquires as to why a foreigner can own landed property...

'Else, the first local to alert the authorities can be your legal agent...
