Petroleum Income Tax

The Petroleum Income Tax Act replaces the Revenue Code in imposing a tax on income from firms which own an interest in a petroleum concession granted by the Thai government or which purchase oil from a concession holder for export. Net income from petroleum operations includes revenue from production, transport or sale of oil and gas, the value of gas delivered to the government as a royalty and the proceeds of a transfer of interest in a concession. The tax rate for most operators is not less than 50 percent and not more than 60 percent of net profits.

Stamp Tax

The Revenue Code contains a Stamp Duty Schedule listing transactions subject to stamp tax. Rates depend on the nature of the transaction, and fines for failure to stamp documents are very high.

Excise Tax

Excise tax is levied on the sale of a number of goods, including petroleum products, tobacco, liquor, soft drinks, cement, electrical appliances, and automobiles.

Property Tax

Owners of land and/or buildings in designated areas may be subject to annual taxes levied by the local government. Under the Local Development Tax Act of 1965, rates per unit vary according to the appraised value of the land. However, land for the personal residence of the owner, animal husbandry, or land cultivation is exempted from this Act. For land taxable under the House and Land Tax Act of 1932, which is based on the value of the land and buildings or any other improvements, annual tax is levied at the rate of 12.5 percent of the assessed assumed rental value of the property, and only owner-occupied residences are exempt.
