Legal & Tax Structuring for HNW Foreign Investors | KORKAIIDEA
SERVICE 03 · COMPLIANCE
Legal & Tax Structuring.
Thai property law is not forgiving of shortcuts. We structure each purchase to survive 10 years of regulatory scrutiny and optimize tax across six jurisdictions. No workarounds. No grey zones.
OUR STANDARD
Every structure audit-ready on day one.
We do not use nominee shareholders. We do not recommend grey-zone leasehold workarounds. Every ownership structure we design is defensible in front of the Land Department, Bank of Thailand, and Revenue Department — for ten years after closing.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Compliance across the full transaction:
- Foreign ownership quota verification — 49% rule, building-level quota check with developer
- FET documentation — Foreign Exchange Transaction forms coordinated with 3 partner banks
- Title deed authentication — Chanote verification direct with Land Department
- Mortgage + FX coordination — multi-currency loan structuring when applicable
- Tax-efficient holding — individual / Thai Co. Ltd / BOI / foreign entity, per client situation
- Annual tax filing review — PIT 90/91, house tax, capital gains treatment
EXAMPLE ENGAGEMENT
Singapore family, 3 units, ฿120M.
Structure: 2 foreign-quota freehold + 1 leasehold through Thai Co. Ltd (for a family member who was Thai resident). Transfer taxes + withholding saved: ฿4.2M vs. the developer-suggested default structure. Full audit trail retained for 10 years.
STRUCTURE YOUR PURCHASE
Fix the structure before you sign the contract.
Most legal errors happen before purchase, not after. A consultation reviews your situation and the structures appropriate for it.
