Cabinet approves tax incentives

By The Nation

The Cabinet today approved the 1-month extension of the property tax incentives to end-June, as the anti-government protest resulted in delayed property transactions in this month.

Transfer fees and mortgage registration fees will remain 0.01 per cent of property value, from normal rate of 2 per cent.

The Cabinet also approved the tax incentives to support financial institutions' mergers during 2010 and 2011, under the Financial Sector Development Master Plan (Phase II). The mergers will be waived from corporate income taxes, special business tax, and stamp duty and value-added tax.

Sure - good idea to give incentives to keep and attract investors. But if you don't deal with the idiots who caused the country to be unattractive in the first place, none of it will matter.

We are not all trying to sell to foreigners. 99% of the housing market is Thai, and that's the market I'm selling to. Not much change in that market, and still buyers out there.

whoopee do what a differnce that will make.

They just can't get it through their greedy little heads can thay.

So now the Government is trying to raise suppport from people who own property makes sense make people who can afford a house get sympathy from them.

I have no bias, I will sell to anyone - but no rush as we are simply downsizing and will be buying again-in Thailand.

65 Million Thais!!!, thats where most go wrong by marketing to foreigners that dont exist. Market the domestic arena and plenty of buyers for properties that are independant of gated communities. Sold mine no problem.
