Selling Inherited Property in Phuket: Tax and Transfer Records to Prepare

'# Selling Inherited Property in Phuket: Tax and Transfer Records to Prepare

Short answer: A Phuket property inherited from a relative can have different tax treatment from an ordinary purchase, but the amount due depends on the asset, seller, holding history and transfer. Gather the title and inheritance records first; do not use a generic online percentage as your closing estimate.

The Revenue Department’s guidance on selling inherited or gifted real estate describes how personal income tax withholding is calculated and notes that business-specific-tax treatment must also be considered. The page was last updated in 2022, so have a Thai tax adviser confirm that its method and the current rules apply to your transaction. Ask the Land Office and adviser to reconcile the official appraised value, acquisition date, ownership share, seller’s tax status and any exemption claimed. Stamp duty and specific business tax cannot simply be added together without checking which applies.

Prepare the current title, death certificate, will or court documents, registration date, co-owner details and any prior transfer records. Before signing, request a written closing estimate that separates registration fees, withholding tax and other charges and names who pays each item under the sale agreement. Keep official receipts and tax calculations with the final transfer file.
