Thailand’s New Land and Building Tax Act
In March 2019, the Thai government introduced the new Land and Building Tax Act B.E. 2562, which has been in effect since January 1, 2020.
The Act obligates individuals, corporate entities, or any beneficiaries of land or buildings, to pay land and building tax. The new law replaces several legislations which include – the Land Tax of 1932; the Land Development Tax of 1965; the Notification of the National Executive Council No. 156 of 1972; and the Royal Decree Designating the Medium Price of Land for Land Development Tax Assessment of 1986.
