DACH Investor FAQs

How does the German Double Tax Treaty treat Dubai rental income?

Under the DBA (Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen), income derived from immovable property located in Dubai is taxable in Dubai. Because Dubai does not levy income tax on individuals, the effective tax rate is 0%.

Can German or Swiss corporate entities (GmbH / AG) own Dubai property?

Yes. Foreign corporate entities can acquire freehold property in Dubai either directly or through a specialized DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) Holding SPV.

Is German language advisory available for contract and escrow review?
