Banana7 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Got the property tax bill from Pattaya City Hall today. Looks like they are giving a 90% discount again if you pay before June 2021. Edited April 2, 2021 by Banana7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are giving a 90% discount again if you pay before June 2021. When I paid last year and got the 99+% discount, they told me that next year it would be around 550 Baht instead of the usual 7,500 Baht, so a bit more than 90%. You can only pay it, though, once you've received the letter. Last year my handyman was dead keen to go and get his discount after he saw the paperwork proving mine, but when he went to City Hall they told him to go away and only come back when he got the letter.

chilly07 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Classic stealth tax. Can be put up to 100pc anytime after they have registered everybody. Also because it is currently low people are not claiming exemptions so when it does go to 100pc city hall will say 'you paid it before so you must pay again'!

condohope Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I live in my condo in NaJomtien and last year went to Municipality to pay the reduced property tax without having gotten a bill. Never ever received a bill. So should one wait for the bill or go again without being billed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if they say, "90% discount on land tax for this year. now here is your bill for all your other years, at 100%, plus late fees."

Guderian Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 They do seem keen this year, my bill arrived this afternoon. It's printed in one of those old-fashioned things where you have to tear the edges off and then open it out. Still, it's for the hugely-discounted amount as expected, so once again I'll be using the savings to pay for my Christmas turkey, Thank you so much, Muang Pattaya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Happy days are here again, lol! I sent the GF off to City Hall this morning to pay the 581 Baht that they'd sent me a bill for. When she returned, she said that they are giving an extra Covid discount now so that the 581 Baht was reduced to just 68 Baht, 10 Baht more than the 58 Baht I paid last year. She also said that it was very busy there and she was told that you can now pay the bill (or will be able to next year, I'm not 100% sure which) in a bank. She was told that SCB or Krung Thai can do it for you, but I don't know if they're the only options. Anyway, no complaints at this end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been at the City Hall some weeks ago and they sent me home because the computer didn't have the amounts yet. Now I paid at Krung Thai. You have to do this at the teller (10 Baht fee). And don't forget the passport!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My wife received our property tax bill earlier this week. It was the first ever. 3 typed pages resulting at a payment due of 8 baht!!!!! Must cost far more than that to both process the bill and collect the payment!

Given what farang-unfriendly dump the tax office at City Hall is, this is really a big improvement. Edited April 7, 2021 by Guderian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana7 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 I also noticed that the property tax increased 12% from last year. Last year it was 40 baht, this year 45 baht, based on the 90% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
