The Koh Samui City Municipality has recently issued an important notice to all property owners and custodians within its jurisdiction. A comprehensive survey is being launched to update the database for land and building tax assessments. This initiative is crucial for keeping records current and ensuring that tax liabilities are accurately calculated.

What is the Land and Building Tax?

The Land and Building Tax is an annual financial charge on property, which includes the land itself, the buildings, and any other structures affixed to the land. The tax is determined by various factors, including the property’s value, its size, and its usage. In addition to this, a signage tax is imposed on properties used for advertisement or branding purposes.

Cooperation with Surveyors

Property owners are encouraged to cooperate fully with the appointed surveyors. This collaboration is essential for the accuracy of the data collected. Surveyors are expected to visit properties to gather necessary information, which will be used to evaluate the appropriate taxes for each property. Property owners are requested to provide access to their properties during the surveying period.

Information Required by Surveyors

During their visit, surveyors will require specific details about the property. Owners should be prepared to disclose the type and number of structures on their land, the size of each building, and how the land and buildings are being used. Information about any signs or billboards, which could affect the signage tax, is also necessary.

Schedule for Surveying

The survey will take place during daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset, to ensure that surveyors can assess properties accurately. Property owners should expect these visits to occur within standard business hours and plan accordingly to assist the surveyors with the required information.

Your Role in the Survey

The active participation of property owners is vital in this process. By ensuring that surveyors have all the information they need, property owners help maintain the fairness and effectiveness of the tax system. The information provided will directly impact the tax assessment, making it imperative that it is both accurate and complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Land and Building Tax in Koh Samui?

The Land and Building Tax in Koh Samui is akin to a gentle tide that touches every shore of property ownership. This financial levy is an annual tribute that property owners pay, enveloping the land, the buildings upon it, and any other structures that have laid their roots into the land. It is not a flat rate but a melody composed of various notes — the property’s market value, its dimensions, and the purpose it serves. And let us not forget, like a hidden cove along the coastline, the signage tax waits for those properties that flaunt advertisements or branding, adding another layer to their tax responsibility.
