USUFRUCT OR SUPERFICIES THE BEST  

Usufruct Interest (Sidhi-kep-kin) - gives you temporary ownership rights to structures on or arising from the land. In practice, a usufruct is limited to a 30 year maximum period; like leases, the agreement can be successively renewed. In contrast to a lease, a usufructury interest can be sold or transferred, although it expires upon the death of the holder of the usufruct and therefore cannot be inherited. This is better than a lease which by law can only be for a period of 30 years.

LEASE COSTS & WHAT YOU WILL PAY: 

The cost of the lease is approx 1% of the purchase price separate from the house purchase price and this is a one off payment so with filing fee for a 3m baht home look at approx 33,000 baht. Lawyers transfers costs etc and to register at the land office can be anywhere from 25-50,000 baht depending on the complexity of the sale and work to be done plus where the location is if outside Chiangmai etc. BUT REMEMBER BANGKOK CHARGES ARE DEARER THAN SAY CHIANGMAI

PAYMENT:

A deposit of 10- 30% is usually required to secure a property and total payments should be made within 30-60 days (see your lawyer first) but normally once the transfer has gone through. If signing a purchase agreement then up to 30% down & 70% following transfer. Normally the seller will pay the changeover tax which starts at 2.5%. However if the seller has owned the house longer than this [period it is discounted. Some Land Offices will charge up to 8% depending on the area and office. An agreement can be made between buyer and seller than each pay 50%. You can obtain longer periods but you will probably be required to pay a higher deposit. Deposits are normally non refundable, except by default of the vendor, so bear in mind that once the deposit is placed you are committed.

Accounting and Tax change 

The Revenue Department provides guidelines on and examples of the treatment of withholding tax and VAT on payments of fees, i.e.

(1) Fees related to customs clearance substantiated by in the name of the owner of the goods;
(2) Service fees of the shipping agents; and
(3) Expenses without receipts incurred in the name of the owner of the goods and traditional expenses which the owner accepts have actually been incurred.

The Revenue Department provides that fees in items (2) and (3) are subject to withholding tax and VAT, while fees under item (1) are not subject to withholding tax and VAT.
The Instruction indicates that the owner of the goods should be allowed to treat the fees under items (2) and (3) charged by shipping agent as tax deductible expenses, while the fees should be treated as taxable income of the shipping agents.
However, it is observed that the Instruction does not indicate whether receipt-less traditional expenses which the own accepts were actually incurred will be tax deductible. Therefore, the manner in which shipping agents should treat such expenses for tax purposes is uncertain.

 

Social insurance 

The assessable maximum salary of Bht. 15,000 per month remains unchanged and therefore the maximum monthly employer's contribution will increase from Bht. 450 to Bht. 600. Employee's maximum contributions will also increase to Bht. 600 per month.

New royal decrees were issued to provide an extension of time to the period for tax exemption on the debt restructuring process and on partial business transfer, as well as
another year's extension to the period for the reduction of the SBT rate from 3.3% to 0.11%.The Revenue Department has expanded the tax base for the exemption from personal income tax from Baht 50,000 to Baht 80,000, commencing in the tax year 2003. Tax exemption is also provided for the sale of a main residence to purchase a new one. Two Departmental Instructions on the surcharge and penalty counting period and withholding tax sale promotions were issued as guidelines for Revenue officers.

BOI amended its Notification on the "Regional Headquarters" business category. The Board of Investment (BOI) notified an amendment to business category 7.9 by substituting the previous reference to "Regional headquarters" with "Regional Operating Headquarters". Together with the substitution of the business category, the BOI has also changed the entire set of conditions for qualifying for the business promotion in order to be congruent with those of the Revenue Department.

VAT on selling goods to a supplier in an export processing zone


A Company situated in an export processing zone purchased parts and stored them in its warehouse which was situated in the same export processing zone. The Company had not yet made payment for the parts. The seller cleared customs duty and delivered the parts to the export processing zone. The VAT rate is 0%. When the Company wished to use any of the parts, it only paid the price of the quantity required. The Revenue Department considered that this was an export of goods which qualifies for the 0% rate of VAT and that the liability to VAT arises on the date the domestic goods are brought into the export processing zone. When the Company took some parts from the warehouse for the manufacture of goods, this was regarded as bringing the goods for use in its own business and not regarded as being a sale of goods. The invoice issued by the seller is for payment purposes. The seller is not required to collect VAT again.


VAT on the compensation of goods


A company has set a warranty standard on claiming goods. When it receives complaints from customers, it then sends an officer to investigate and check the goods. If it appears that the Company is liable as a manufacturer even though the sale is made by distributors to the customers, new goods of the same quality and quantity will be sent to substitute for the damaged goods. The Company understood that since this is regarded as bringing goods to use in its own business, no VAT liability would arise. However, the Revenue Department takes a different view, that this transaction is regarded as a sale of goods, and that the Company is liable to collect VAT from the customer.

Changing goods under warranty contract


A company has a policy on the warranty of goods such that if the goods sold by the Company are damaged within the period of the warranty, a customer can make a claim for new goods. The Revenue Department ruled that the sale of goods under a warranty contract whereby the Company will replace the goods damaged in the warranty period is regarded as bringing the goods for use in the manufacture of goods, provision of service, management of business or as the benefit of the property the Company has for carrying on its business, which is not regarded as the sale of goods. Therefore, it is not subject to VAT under section 77/2 of the Revenue Code.

 

Public utilities expenses for the real estate business are not capital expenditure

A company is a real estate developer in the business of land appropriation and sale of houses. The Company had constructed public utilities on its land by which the land and the public utilities had not yet been transferred to anyone or for public benefit. The Revenue Department took the view that the construction expense was a disallowable expense in the CIT calculation according to Section 65 ter (5). The public utility expenses of the Company's permitted project i.e. road, side-walk, electricity system, water system, bridge, waste-water treatment and lake were expenses which the Company paid for the direct benefit of the land and houses in the permitted project. These expenses would increase the value of the land and houses in the Company's permitted project and benefit the Company's business directly; they are the Company's assets and treated as the Company's capital. The expenses, therefore, are a non-deductible expenses under Section 65 ter (5) of the Revenue Code. Instead, the Company is required t o deduct wear and tear and depreciation of such properties in accordance with Royal Decree No.145 B.E.2527 (1984).

 

 

Thailand's tax system is self-assessment.

Directors are responsible for compliance with the Revenue Code and preparation/submission of complete and accurate tax returns. In addition, resources are stretched as companies are focusing on their competencies: activities that create value for the company. The result is limited resources available for tax compliance. We can assist you with managing your regulatory compliance needs.
