Real Estate / Real Estate Taxation
Barnea provides comprehensive legal guidance on tax planning and the diverse tax issues that arise in relation to real estate transactions.
Real estate transactions often have tax implications. Sometimes, even real estate transactions that are not intuitively viewed as a taxable are deemed as such by the tax authorities under particular circumstances. For example, transactions without compensation between relatives, estate distribution agreements among heirs, transfers of rights from trustees to beneficiaries, and the like.
It is therefore highly important to highlight the tax implications of each and every transaction and to obtain professional legal advice on the proper conduct required to achieve a minimal tax charge.
