How do I sell my Dubai property, and is there any tax on the profit?
Selling mirrors buying: agree terms, sign the Form F/MOU, obtain the developer NOC, then transfer ownership at a DLD trustee office where a new title deed is issued to the buyer. The UAE levies no capital gains tax on personal property sales. Expect the 4% DLD transfer fee (often split, but negotiable) and roughly 2% agent commission plus 5% VAT. Check your home-country tax.
