Are there any taxes on property in Dubai?

There is no capital gains, no tax on rental income and no restrictions on repatriating your rent or sale proceeds. All purchases are subject to 4% of the cost which needs to be paid to the Dubai Land Department for Title Deed on a completed property or Pre-Title registration (Oqood) on an off-plan property. There is a Municipality fee which is calculated as 5% of the annual rent , generally paid by the tenant in 12 monthly instalments as part of their utility bill.
