Sales office - Bureaux

Entrance - Entrée

Foundation - Fondations

Here workers are preparing the wood frame.  They are spreading oil on it so that concrete won't adhere on it when we will remove the frame.

Ici les ouvriers préparent le bois à bancher. Ils l'enduisent de pétrole afin que le béton n'adhère pas aux banches lorsqu'on les retirera.

Here workers are preparing the horizontal beams that stand on the footings.

Ici les ouvriers préparent les poutres qui prennent appuis sur les fondations; c'est un petit peu comme si on avait une semelle filante posée sur des bases carrées.

Beams - Villa A

Here are some photos of the reinforced concrete beam structure that comes on top of the footing.

Voici des photos des "poutres" qui prennent appuis sur les fondations.

Quel est le montant des droits de mutation?

Chaque vente de propriété immobilière* donne lieu au paiement de:

1. Timbres (0,5% du montant de la propriété tel qu’il est estimé par le cadastre),
2. De frais de transfert de propriété : 0,01%
3. Et, le cas échéant, d’une taxe spécifique d’activité (« Specific Business Tax ») qui est payable par un propriétaire ayant enregistré son bien depuis moins de 5 ans avant de le revendre (la notion de gain en capital n’existant pas en droit Thaï, cette « taxe spécifique d’activité » permet à l’état de récupérer un peu d’impôt): 0,11%

* Attention nous parlons ici de la vente au sens stricte, ceci exclut le bail emphytéotique qui donne lieu a un droit d'enregistrement de 1,1% seulement.

What Taxes and Costs are Applicable to Purchasing a Property in Thailand?

On all purchase/sale of property in Thailand there is a stamp Duty of 0.5%of the assessed value of the property, a transfer fee of 0.01%, a business tax of 0.11% levied against an owner who has been in registered possession of the property less than 5 years, and Income Tax.
There is no Capital Gains Tax in Thailand, unlike many countries, and Income Tax (usually between 1.0 - 3.0%) on property is the comparable replacement.
There are no set rules on who pays the income tax, and it is just another part of the bargaining process, as with all the other costs of the transfer of ownership.

Are There Property Taxes in Thailand?

There are no property taxes as such in Thailand that are exactly equivalent to the property taxes in the west.
However, the most comparable taxes on properties in Thailand are the Land Tax and the Structures Usage Tax.

• The Land Tax levied on land is so minuscule, that in practice the body charged to collect it, rarely bothers to do so, and if they do, they usually wait several years until the amount accumulates.
• The second tax, the Structures Usage Tax, relates to buildings, is collected by the municipal office or district office, and is only applied to properties used for commercial purpose.

Maintenance fees will be around ฿4,000 per month (US$ 115) for the villas and ฿2,000 per month ($59) for the cottages. These fees can be brought up to date each year.
These fees cover:

• Garbage collection,
• Maintenance of the private roads and of the power and water distribution system.
• Street lighting.

Extra costs:

• Water will be charged ฿20 per m³
• Electricity will be charged at the rate of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand +1%.
• Botan Village can provide garden and swimming pool maintenanace if the owner wishes it.
