Taxes on an apartment abroad
When you rent out an apartment abroad, tax can arise in two countries: where the apartment is and where you are a tax resident. Your citizenship and language do not decide this on their own. An example from the Levelvale calculator: an apartment in Georgia renting for $450 a month. Rental income tax in Georgia for the first year is $270, which is 5% of $5,400. The calculator adds the tax in your country of residence in the full analysis. Here we explain what information you need for an accurate calculation and where to check the rates. We publish a rate only after checking it against the primary source, and we give the date of that check. This is an explanation, not tax advice. If you move to another country during the year, own the apartment through a company, or are a resident of more than one country, have a tax advisor check the calculation.
