Hi,

I'm putting together a list of grey car dealers in Bangkok and would like to have experiences from fellow members as to what make/ model (imported cars) purchased and dealings you had with the company you purchased from. Don't have to be lengthy replies, just an idea of how the deal went and your satisfaction. Contacts persons within the companies would be much appreciated as well.

thanks.

Giving this a bump.

Wife is a few weeks pregnant. Now looking for a hospital..

Anyone here used any of the 2 hospitals (Vejthani, Synphaet) mentioned? Experiences? Especially which doctor to avoid as I did not have a good experience with our last doctor at another hospital years ago. Recommendations of doctors welcomed as well.

thanks.

I've agreed to share transfer and stamp duty costs but am not sure about how witholding taxes are calculated so have not agreed to that. Is this a personal tax? How is it calculated?

Also, I think the witholding tax is based on the higher price, selling or valuation. Not the same as transfer fee and stamp duty which uses the valuation price.

This what i believe as of now. Still learning more...

Thanks for the responses...

I now understand the capital tax gain issue (there is none)

But I'm still not clear about which price the land department uses. In a previous response it was said that the highest recorded price would be used by the land department to calculate taxes. In the link PP posted (there's a property calculator there, thanks for that), they use the land valuation price even when the selling price is higher. Which price do they use? Does anyone have an official link to the details?

I'm also not clear as to how they calculate withholding taxes. Could someone please elaborate on that.

The home I'm looking at has been registered to the owner for 2 years (with blue book). In this case I believe you only pay transfer fee, stamp duty and witholding tax. I can calculate the first 2 but am not sure what the witholding tax comes up to.

thanks again for the replies.

Is my understanding of how the taxes work correct? Will I, in the future be taxed on the difference mentioned on the original post? This was my initial question.

Is there anything else I am missing?
