Real Estate / Real Estate Taxation
Barnea provides comprehensive legal guidance in relation to tax planning and all of the diverse tax issues that arise in relation to real-estate transactions.
Any real estate transaction could have tax implications. Sometimes, even real estate transactions that intuitively identified as a taxable real estate transaction, are deemed taxable 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 likes.
It is therefore highly important to highlight the tax implications of each and every transaction and to obtain professional advice concerning the proper conduct required in order to achieve a minimal tax charge.
