Tax Advantages for German Real Estate Investors in Dubai

Tax-Free Status in Dubai

Dubai does not levy income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax on real estate income. This makes the Emirates particularly attractive for international investors.

Double Taxation Agreement

There is no classic DTA (Double Taxation Agreement) between Germany and the UAE. Rental income from Dubai properties is therefore generally taxable in Germany.

Progression Proviso

Dubai rental income may fall under the progression proviso and increase the German tax rate on domestic income without being taxed itself.

Recommendation

Consult a tax advisor specializing in international tax law. Heinzmann Partners can provide recommendations for experienced tax experts.
