TRANSFER FEE ESTIMATOR

Estimate Thai property transfer fees and taxes

Enter the appraised value, who's selling and how long they've owned it. We estimate the four government charges due at the Land Department — transfer fee, specific business tax, stamp duty and withholding tax — and split them between buyer and seller.

How the estimator works

Four separate government charges apply to a Thai property transfer. The estimator computes each one from the value, seller type and holding period.

Enter the appraised value

Type the Land Department appraised value or the sale price — taxes are levied on whichever is higher.

Pick the seller and holding period

Individual vs company changes the withholding tax method; years owned decides specific business tax vs stamp duty.

See every charge

We break out the 2% transfer fee, specific business tax or stamp duty, and the seller's withholding tax.

Split buyer and seller

The total is divided into the buyer's and seller's typical shares so both sides know their cash at closing.

Estimate your transfer costs
฿5,000,000

The Land Department's assessed value, or the sale price — taxes are charged on whichever is higher.

Withholding tax is a flat 1% for companies; for individuals it's a progressive calculation based on years owned.

3 yr

Selling within 5 years triggers the 3.3% specific business tax instead of the 0.5% stamp duty.

If the seller had their name in the house registration book for at least a year, specific business tax is waived even within 5 years.

Estimate only — the Land Department applies its own appraised value, rounding and minimums. Confirm the exact figure at the local office.

By convention the 2% transfer fee is split 50/50, while specific business tax, stamp duty and withholding tax are the seller's liability. Who pays what is ultimately negotiable in the sale contract.
