ballbreaker Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 What did buyer and seller agree to concerning who pays which taxes? Here are required fees and taxes due at transfer. Government transfer fee - 2% Stamp duty is exempt if Business tax paid - 0.5% Business tax only due if owned less than 5 years - 3.3% Withholding tax - tax at progressive rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would assume by Witholding Tax he means Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax. If Income Tax is payable the rate of tax (%) is progressive from 0% to something like 37% although at the higher income levels the % has reduced for income derived from 1/1/13. For example prior to 2013 income was taxed as follows (all numbers annual income) - 0 - 150,000 baht 0% 150,001 - 500,000 baht 10% 500,001 - 1,000,000 baht 20% 1,000,001 - 4,000,000 baht 30% 4,000,000 + 37% The Revenue Department may assume that your GF/Wife has received income (profit) and income tax is payable. You need to check with accountant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Taxable income being the sales value less cost and maybe expenses. So - 2.2m sale price - 1.1m (cost) - (transfer fee + business tax + stamp duty) = taxable income Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Witholding tax could also be the 1% payable at transfer time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
