Land and Building Transfer Tax

Overview

When transferring the ownership of land or buildings, the land and building transfer tax shall be paid in accordance with the regulations.


If the taxpayer fails to pay the land and building transfer tax in full, the notary shall not sign the property transfer contract.

The land and building transfer tax is calculated based on the total transfer value and the applicable tax rate is 2.5%.

For taxpayers engaged in real estate development, the applicable tax rate for the transfer of low-cost houses and low-cost apartments is 1%.

Tax payable

Generally speaking, the basis for calculating the land and building transfer tax is the higher of the actual transaction price and the receivable price in the "Land and Building Property Transfer Deed" and the "Sales Agreement".

When the land and building property transferee is the government, the basis for calculating the tax is the transaction amount determined by the government.

In the auction activities held by the government, the total transfer value is the amount stipulated in the relevant auction contract.
