## Transfer Fee
**2% of the appraised value** — This is the main cost at the Land Department. Typically split 50/50 between buyer and seller, but negotiable.
## Specific Business Tax (SBT)
**3.3% of the appraised or selling price** (whichever is higher) — Applies if the seller has owned the property for less than 5 years. If owned for more than 5 years, stamp duty applies instead.
## Stamp Duty
**0.5% of the appraised or selling price** — Only applies if SBT is not applicable (ownership > 5 years).
## Withholding Tax
**1% of the appraised value** for companies, or progressive rates for individuals based on the appraised value and years of ownership.
