Who it is for

What it is and why it matters

Frequently asked questions
Is there an annual property tax in Dubai?
No. Dubai has no Annual Property Tax. On purchase you pay a one time DLD (Dubai Land Department) registration fee of 4% of the property value. Extra fees (legal fees, trust) will be set out in the matching call for your deal.
Do I need to report a Dubai property investment in Israel?
That depends on your personal circumstances (residency status, source of funds, whether it is an investment or a rental property). We do not give Israeli tax advice inside this service, but the service includes a link to a lawyer or tax adviser who also knows the Israeli side, so you get a full picture before you sign.
What is an Escrow account and why does it matter?
By law, all purchase funds on new projects in Dubai go into a DLD supervised Escrow account, and the developer can draw them only against actual construction progress. That is the main protection of your money in an Off-plan deal, and we check it as part of the legal review.
