The Office of the Board of Investment (BOI) has declared tax incentives for property developers engaged in the construction of residential properties, including houses and condominiums, aimed at catering to low-income individuals. These incentives are applicable to properties priced at 1.5 million THB or below.

The privileges were approved by the Board of Investment on March 15^th, 2024, in accordance with the third phase of the Government Housing Bank (GHB)’s initiative to extend loans to low-income individuals for the acquisition of houses and condominium units and consistent with the government’s economic stimulus measure through the real estate sector.

Projects meeting the eligibility criteria, which include a minimum requirement of 70 square meters of space for housing projects and at least 24 square meters of condominium space floor, will qualify for a three-year exemption from corporate income tax. This exemption applies to and shall not exceed the investment costs associated with infrastructure development such as roads, public facilities, and amenities for public use within the projects.
