In Bali, the notary fee for freehold land transactions is typically split between the buyer and seller, but the exact percentage can vary depending on the agreement between both parties. Here’s a general breakdown:

Average Notary Fees in Bali (Freehold Land Purchase)

1. Total Notary Fee: Usually around 1% to 2% of the transaction value (or a fixed negotiated fee if the land value is very high).

   • Sometimes, a fixed fee is agreed upon (e.g., IDR 10–30 million for standard transactions).

2. Split Between Buyer & Seller:

   • Buyer’s Side: Often covers 0.5% to 1% (or more if negotiated).

   • Seller’s Side: Often covers 0.5% to 1% (sometimes less if the buyer agrees to pay more).

3. Additional Costs (usually paid by the buyer):

   • BPHTB (Land and Building Acquisition Duty): 5% of the tax value (often split or negotiated).

   • AJB Fee (Sale Deed Registration): ~ IDR 1–5 million.

   • PPH (Income Tax for Seller): 2.5% of the sale value (usually seller’s responsibility, but sometimes negotiated).

Key Notes:

• The notary fee is sometimes negotiable, especially for high-value transactions.

• The buyer often bears more costs (BPHTB, deed fees, etc.), while the seller pays PPH.

• Some notaries charge a fixed fee instead of a percentage.
