Leasing Land/House, Price For 30Years?

[falkan]

Hello

I'm thinking to let my girlfriend buy land / house and then lease it to me in 30 years, the price will be 2 million tbh.

I heard from a friend that I am taxed on this? can not my girlfriend just lease it for free to me? for what fees should I expect myself ?

One word: usufruct!

In that case the annual tax would be 12.5% of the assessed value of the leased property.

you should make sure your GF has a profit on the lease to make it waterproof, so we talk 2,2 million baht.

Land office reg fee is 1,1% as i recall, 24.200 baht

her income tax on lease can be prepayed for 30 years, and as I recall thats approx 334.000 baht

you may find usufruct less expensive solution

or provide a loan to you GF and register in land deed. Some land office will not accept this, unless you prove you are not in any relationship. When I did it, my GF brought her uncle to be her "boyfriend", and I brought my GF sister to be my "girlfriend". Of course non was registered in same Tabien Baan

The present annual Building and Land Tax on the leased property is an additional 12.5%, this will change under a proposed new law..

the taxes I mentioned is a must to pay for lease to be valid
