Tax & ownership structures for overseas buyers

How prime property is commonly held across borders — and why structure matters.

  1. Start with the end in mind

    Succession and exit shape the right structure as much as tax does.

  2. Understand local rules

    Some jurisdictions tax or restrict certain structures; local advice is essential.

  3. Weigh privacy against cost

    Holding vehicles add cost and reporting; weigh them against the benefit.

  4. Document everything

    Clean records ease both purchase and eventual sale.
