Thailand Maintains Reduced Sale and Mortgage Registration Fees

Subscribe to Updates

Thailand has opted to continue its reduction of rates for the sale and mortgage of certain types of properties to Thai individuals, as detailed in two ministerial regulations issued by the Ministry of Interior dated December 28, 2023, and published in the Government Gazette on January 2, 2024.

In recent years, Thailand has allowed a reduction of the government fees for registering the sale and mortgage to Thai individuals of detached houses, semidetached houses, row houses, commercial buildings, the accompanying land, and condominium units with a sale price, official assessed value, and mortgage amount of up to THB 3 million.

The reduced rates for these government fees are as follows:

  • Sale: 1% of the officially assessed value (reduced from the normal rate of 2%).
  • Mortgage: 0.01% of the mortgage amount (reduced from the normal rate of 1%).

To be eligible for the reduced mortgage registration rate of 0.01%, both the sale and mortgage must be registered at the same time. These reduced rates will be valid until December 31, 2024.

For more details on the reduced fees, or on any aspect of property law in Thailand, please contact Chaiwat Keratisuthisathorn at [email protected].

The new Land Law was ratified by the National Assembly on November 29, 2013, and came into effect on July 1 this year (the 2014 Land Law). It replaces the previous Land Law of 2003 (the 2003 Land Law). Following the 2014 Land Law, the government issued Decrees No 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47, which also came into effect on July 1. In guiding some of these decrees, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Ministry of Finance issued several guiding circulars.
