The Royal Decree on Land and Building Tax Reduction (No. 2) B.E. 2564, which we previously noted was under consideration, has been officially promulgated. The royal decree, which was announced and published in Thailand’s Government Gazette on January 31, 2021, and came into effect the following day, will effectively reduce land and building tax payments by 90% in 2021 for the following types of land and buildings: Land or buildings used for agricultural purposes; Land or buildings used for residential purposes; Land or buildings used for other purposes; and Vacant or unused land or buildings. Owners of the above types of land or buildings are therefore only required to pay 10% of the land and building tax normally owed for 2021. The royal decree follows the Ministry of Interior’s recent announcement of an extension for the payment of land and building tax in 2021, which will now be due by June 30, 2021 (extended from April 30, 2021). For more details on these measures, or on any aspect relating to Thailand’s land and building tax, please contact Chaiwat Keratisuthisathorn at [email protected] or +66 2056 5507.

The renewed spread of COVID-19 in Thailand since December 2020 has led to additional tax relief measures to lessen the economic impact of the outbreak. Most recently, it has prompted the Ministry of Finance to propose a draft Royal Decree on Land and Building Tax Reduction B.E. 2564 (2021), which is expected to be similar to the 2020 measures that reduced land and building tax payments by 90 percent. In the meantime, on January 21, 2020, the Ministry of Interior announced an extension for the payment of land and building tax in 2021, which is now due by June 30, 2021 (extended from April 30, 2021). In light of the new land and building tax payment deadline for 2021, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, or the relevant municipality or local administrative office, will now send land and building tax assessment forms to taxpayers by April 30, 2021 (extended from February 28, 2021). For more details on these measures, or on any aspect of Thailand’s land and building tax, please contact Chaiwat Keratisuthisathorn at [email protected] or +66 2056 5507.
