Has condo sales tax changed again?

[samsingsong]

I gather that the method that the Land Office uses to calculate Sales Tax on property has changed again?

When I bought my first condo about 12 years ago it was based on the sales price.

I bought another condo about 4 years ago and the Land Office (Pattaya) had a book for every condo building and calculated the tax according to what floor the apartment was on and how many Sq. Mtr's.

I've heard that it has changed again in recent months. I'd be grateful for any info please.

I should have added in my post above that I did see an item about sales tax on this forum a few months ago with a handy calculator, as apparently sales tax was again based on sales price.

However, the vague info I've got recently suggests that sales tax has changed yet again?

There was recently one of the taxes virtually removed to boost sales but this has now been reintroduced, I dont know which one as my Wife drones on about condo sales daily and I just switch off.............only for the last 7 years though

Thanks for your reply Kannot. What you say ties in with what my 'source' said.

They said that you didn't have to pay any sales tax earlier in the year - they thought up until end of April.

Any more info much appreciated!
