Surin Beach property prices in 2026The only prices on record cover all of Cherng Talay.

Transfer fees and taxes when buying in SurinHow long the seller has owned changes the tax bill.

What this means for youAsk the seller for the date they bought. After more than five years the 3.3% business tax falls away and stamp duty of THB 1 per THB 200 applies instead.

Read the detailClose

The Land Office charges a registration fee of 2% on a sale, worked out on the official appraised value and not on the agreed price.

Specific business tax, a tax on selling property, is 3.3% where the sale counts as commercial, which includes a sale within five years of the seller buying. It does not apply after more than five years, or if the seller has been on the house registration for at least one year. Stamp duty is charged only when the business tax is not.

Income tax is also held back at the Land Office: 1% when the seller is a company, and a sum scaled to the years of ownership when the seller is an individual.
