Things you need to know when buying condominium in Bagkok
Thailand property taxes and fees are very low as Thailand does not charge annual property tax but there is still a few taxes and fees you need to keep in mind when buying a condo in Bangkok.
First, there’s 2% property transfer fee that is typically split between the seller and the buyer, and sometimes you may need to pay an addition of 0.5% stamp duty in cases where seller doesn’t cover it(which they normally do). Keep in mind that if you sell the condo within five years of purchase, you may need to pay an additional 3.3% on “specific business taxes”.
Rental income taxes Thailand is relatively low as most landlords pay around 5% or less, and even then, you may take plenty o deductions to lower those taxes even further.
Last thing to keep in mind is that most condominium, especially high-end ones, in Thailand have what you would call a “management fee” that covers the building facilities, parking lot, management and inhouse staffs and these fee varies from one condominium to another.
