A recent report on high property taxes by UK-based Knight Frank and accounting giant EY found that expatriates buying property in Dubai pay some of the lowest purchase taxes compared to 15 other cities in the world. Here is what you need to know about property taxes in Dubai:
Real estate in Dubai is not taxed.
Dubai is a "tax-free" emirate, making it a consideration for both admissions and residents. Due to its oil and trade revenues, Dubai does not need direct income taxation. However, it bypasses property tax by charging a monthly "housing fee" (also known as council tax) as well as a 4% transfer fee.
All property owners are required to pay 5% of the average rent in their area and pay a fee to the Land and Property Distribution Department of Dubai.
This is the lowest rate in the world
In a report that looked at 15 cities around the world, it was exported that Dubai has a second property tax rate (compared to other property taxes, since it was previously mentioned that there is no property tax in Dubai), which is 3 .6% over five years, and only Monaco preceded it with 3.5%. The rating was received despite the fact that the Dubai Land Department increased the transfer fee to 4% of the cost.
This is Dubai one of the busiest cities for real estate investment in the world.
Attractive attention is paid to investments in major cities of the world. Compared to other cities such as São Paulo, where property taxes are 30% of the total value, Dubai is increasing as an attractive area for expansion, especially given that the yield from irrigation in some areas of the coastal areas is 8%.
