Tourist Development Incentive
The tourism incentive law 158-01, modified by law 184-02, establishes tax exemptions for certain areas of the Dominican Republic, including the area of Cap Cana. This law provides important tax incentives for a period of up to 10 years, such as exemptions from transfer tax, property tax, income or capital gains taxes, etc. Please note that tax exemptions also apply for the first buyer: the person who purchases a new unit directly from the developer.
All applications in process. With the boom in the tourist industry, high rental returns are more achievable than many other obscure international destinations that are said to be “investment hotspots.” With the increased amount of tourism comes an increased need for rental properties. The ability to find a long-term rental property is becoming more difficult, but for owners of these unique units, the return could be quite lucrative.
Law No. 158-01 on Promotion of Tourist Development in scarcely developed locations and new tourist sites in provinces and places of great potential, and the establishment of an Official Tourist Promotion Fund.
