Taxes for Dutch Residents
The Netherlands has the following rule: Real estate is taxed in the country in which it is located. Will you remain a resident in the Netherlands and buy real estate in Dubai? Then the rule to prevent double taxation applies; you declare your real estate in Dubai in your Dutch tax return. Tax is calculated in box 3 and then deducted again, because the property is located abroad. In addition, because tax is levied on the value of the property, no further tax is levied on the rent.
