Inheritance tax bill heads to cabinet with 5%-30% taxes
The Finance Ministry will table the inheritance tax bill for cabinet approval on Tuesday. Under the new law, a child or grandchild of the deceased will be taxed not more than 10% of the portion above 50 million of the assets he has inherited. While the final rate will be deliberated by National Legislative Assembly (NLA), the Finance Ministry will push for a 10% rate, low compared to the United States (40%) and Japan (55%).
An amendment bill to the gift tax law will also be submitted for cabinet approval on the same day. The ministry proposed that a child or grandchild who had received an asset from his parent or grandparent (example: grandfather) be taxed at 5% of the portion above 10 million baht. Under existing laws, such asset transfers are not taxed. The amendment bill aims to supplement the inheritance tax bill to prevent people from evading the inheritance tax by transferring assets as gifts before they die. In a case where the beneficiary is not a child or grandchild of the deceased or the giver, he will have to include the assets in his personal income tax filing for that year, of which the tax ceiling is 35%. Taxes can also be paid in instalments over five years, interest-free if repaid in full in two years. The tax will be exempted when assets are donated for educational purposes.
