Real estate taxation for foreign investors

Buyer Agent DR · April 10, 2026 · 9 min

IPI, ITBI, CONFOTUR, capital gains, tax treaties: structuring your investment.

Dominican real estate taxation remains one of the most competitive in the Caribbean. IPI is capped at 1% of cadastral value above an allowance of approximately USD 150,000.

The CONFOTUR scheme grants approved tourism projects a full IPI and transfer-tax exemption for 15 years.

Rental income is taxed on the non-resident progressive scale (0 to 27%), with actual cost deduction and 25-year straight-line depreciation.

The Dominican Republic has tax treaties with Canada and Spain. For other countries, double-taxation relief applies.

We systematically recommend setting up a structure suited to the investor's profile.
