Ask for a written, itemized closing schedule that lists transfer fee, withholding tax, stamp duty or specific business tax, and any other costs. Compare each item to current official rates from the land office or tax authority; ensure the numbers come from reliable sources and reflect the exact transaction. Have an independent Thai lawyer or qualified adviser review the figures and confirm they apply to your buyer-property-transfer scenario. Written confirmations are essential and should spell out who pays which items and when payment is due. If you hear about temporary reductions or incentives, verify their applicability and ensure they are documented in writing before signing. By anchoring estimates to official rates and independent review, you reduce the risk of surprise charges at closing.
