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.
