Expect clear references to agency commissions, registration or land-office fees, and any due-diligence or legal costs ti…

A typical Thai transfer closing statement itemises items such as transfer fee, withholding tax, stamp duty or specific business tax, and legal costs tied to the transaction.

Common transfer costs may include transfer fee, withholding tax, stamp duty or specific business tax depending on the transaction and seller. Responsibility can be negotiated in the contract, so buyers should ask for a written estimate showing who pays what. Rates and incentives can change, so confirm current costs before completion.
