Expert Real Estate Tax Attorney — Understanding Tax Implications

One of the most complex aspects of a real estate transaction is calculating tax liabilities. Capital gains tax, purchase tax, income tax on capital gains, and other issues can significantly impact the seller's net profit or the buyer's purchase cost. An expert real estate tax attorney can assist with legal planning to improve your tax situation.

Capital Gains Tax — What You Need to Know

Capital gains tax is a tax levied on the profit generated from an increase in the value of land upon its sale. The rate varies depending on the length of the holding period and the type of property. For example, a residential apartment sold after several years of ownership may be subject to capital gains tax, but if it is a primary residence under certain conditions, exemptions or reductions may apply. Accurate calculation requires examination of historical data, valuations, ownership certificates, and additional factors. Mandelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Co. assists in accurately calculating tax liability and filing the report with the tax authority on time.

Purchase Tax — Hidden Costs in Buying

Every real estate buyer in Israel must pay purchase tax, which is an indirect tax on the purchase transaction. The tax rate depends on the type of property (apartment, office, warehouse), the size of the property, the transaction value, and the buyer's status (young couple, family with children, owner of multiple properties, etc.). There are various discounts and exemptions that not all buyers are aware of. Legal consultation in advance can help plan the purchase in a way that minimizes tax liability, provided it is legal and valid.

Combination Transactions — A Delicate Tax Matter

A combination transaction is a deal in which a land owner sells land to a construction company or developer and, in return, purchases an apartment in the new building. From a tax perspective, a combination may be treated as two separate transactions or as one transaction, depending on the circumstances. The tax implications can be significant, and an error in treatment could lead to delays in the process or unexpected tax debt. An attorney with experience in combination transactions will ensure that the transaction is handled correctly from both a legal and tax perspective.

Tax Discounts and Exemptions

In certain circumstances, buyers or sellers may be entitled to discounts or exemptions from certain taxes. For example, a young couple buying a first apartment may receive a discount on purchase tax; a seller who held land for agricultural purposes may be exempt from capital gains tax under certain conditions. Each case is examined individually, and deep legal experience is essential to identify these opportunities.
