Southeast Asia (SEA) is located in the southeast of Asia, including Indochina Peninsula and Malay Archipelago. Indochina Peninsula is famous for being located at the southern tip of China, and the long and thin part of the south is called Malay Peninsula.

Southeast Asia can be divided into two major units in terms of structural geomorphology, one is the relatively stable Indo-Malaysian land, and the other is the new folded mountain with more dynamic crustal changes. There are two types of equatorial rainy climate and tropical monsoon climate, and the natural vegetation is dominated by tropical jungle and tropical monsoon forest, which can be divided into two subregions.

What are the fees for buying a house in Southeast Asia? 1. Contract stamp duty

The contract stamp duty is deducted according to 0.5% of the property price by the Land Department of Thailand. If the real estate agent has already paid special business tax, it is generally not necessary to pay contract stamp duty. In fact, you don't have to pay this fee when you buy a house.

2. Transfer tax

The transfer tax at the time of purchase is deducted from 2% of the property price by the Land Department of Thailand. In most cases, you don't have to pay transfer tax when you buy a new house. The real estate agent will pay 2% tax. If the second-hand house is bought and sold, we can discuss the market share to be paid separately.

3. Enterprise income tax

The Land Department of Thailand deducts 1% of the property price. Personal income tax is deducted from the seller, and the new house is of course borne by the real estate business. If you need to sell a house in the future, the enterprise income tax will be calculated according to the length of real estate ownership. The longer you own it, the lower the tax you have to pay.

4. Special business tax

If the owner of the house has owned the real estate for less than five years and sells the house, he needs to pay special business tax. In the case of buying a new house, this part of the cost is borne by the real estate business. The tax is deducted according to 3.3% of the property price by the Land Department of Thailand. If you want to sell a house, you don't need to pay this fee if you have owned the real estate for five years or you have been in this household registration for one year.
