Sale and purchase of apartments
A transaction of sale or purchase of real estate is a complex transaction, involving quite a few risks, for both parties.
The legal advice in a purchase transaction includes many preliminary checks, such as: Examining the legal status of the seller's rights and obligations in the property (owner / lessee / heir, etc.) as well as checking that the apartment is not subject to liens, foreclosures, mortgages, etc. The representation also includes advice on the taxation that is expected to apply to the sellers or the buyers of the property according to all legislation, orders and instructions of the authorities and examination of the possibilities of tax reduction. The representation includes legal negotiations with the other party and the drawing up of a contract that protects the interests of the clients in an uncompromising way and of course at the end of the day the registration of the buyer's rights in the property at the Land Registry Office or any other relevant entity as well as the delivery of the reports in the required manner to the various authorities and accompaniment until the required registrations are completed.
Therefore, before signing a sale or purchase agreement, it is important to hire a professional law firm, specializing in real estate, which will represent you throughout the process, from beginning to end and give you peace of mind in the transaction.
Exemption from appreciation tax for foreign resident
A foreign resident can receive a full exemption from appreciation tax, provided that he does not have another apartment in his country of residence.
In order to receive the exemption, a foreign resident is required to prove through external evidence that he does not own another apartment in his country of residence.
According to the real estate taxation law, a foreign resident must produce a certificate from the tax authorities that he does not have an apartment.
Since a certificate from the tax authorities, at this moment, can only be issued in Russia and Belgium - a resident of these countries is required to produce this certificate.
In countries where such a certificate cannot be issued - non-residents must prove based on objective evidence that they do not own a residential apartment in their country of residence and convince the tax authority of this, in accordance with the guidelines published by the tax authorities.
Limor Ilany Law Office and Notary is always up-to-date on all relevant legislation, regulations and instructions and provides the client with the most up-to-date professional advice.
Purchase tax benefit of a residential apartment for "Olim Hadashim"
There are two routes according to which "Olim Hadashim" can enjoy a purchase tax benefit when purchasing a residential apartment in Israel.
The first one: A discount on purchase tax for a property purchased in Israel in the period between one year before making Aliya and seven years after making Aliya. This discount covers a number of issues, including when purchasing a residential apartment for the Olim's residence. This discount determines the first level of purchase tax at a rate of 0.5%. To be entitled to it, it is not relevant if it is the Ole's sole residential apartment.
The second one: An Ole will be considered a resident of Israel (and not a foreign resident) for the purposes of purchase tax if he was a resident of Israel within two years of the purchase of the apartment. Meaning, if a foreign resident decides to make Aliya within two years of the purchase of the apartment, he will be considered a resident of Israel for purchase tax purposes and will be entitled to benefit from the purchase tax rate of a single apartment (assuming he does not own another apartment in Israel). The first level of the purchase tax for a single apartment is 0%, so many times, if possible, this route will be more profitable for the Ole.
It is advisable to consult with an expert in the field in order to choose the most profitable route. Limor Ilany Law Office and Notary is always up-to-date on all relevant legislation, regulations and instructions and provides the client with the most up-to-date professional advice.
