What Documents Should I Collect to Support Withholding Tax Calculations?

Ask your lawyer or accountant to list the documents they need, but common items include the sale agreement and transfer contract, the title deed or land registry entry, proof of acquisition date and original purchase price, details of the seller’s identity and status (individual or company), and the official transfer value used by the Land Office. Gather any exemptions claimed, such as personal residence status or reliefs, as well as any evidence of prior taxes paid on the property. If the seller is a juristic person, include corporate documents showing ownership and tax status. Collect bank statements or remittance records related to the sale and any receipts for related costs that affect the sale price. Provide these to the lawyer/accountant who will prepare the withholding tax calculation and ensure it reflects the actual facts and current regulations. Always confirm current figures with the Land Office or a qualified advisor before signing documents.
