Short answer：A fixed list of countries to avoid cannot describe overseas property taxation. Location, tax residence, ownership structure, use and transaction dates determine the issues to verify.
Cover the full lifecycle
Ask a local tax adviser to identify acquisition, holding, letting, disposal and succession taxes, filings and dates. Non-resident, corporate and trust treatment can differ from advertised minimum rates.
Compare after-tax proceeds
Include management, vacancy, borrowing and currency costs. Credits or treaty treatment need individual confirmation; paying tax abroad does not automatically settle reporting duties elsewhere.
Before deciding
- Obtain dated advice for the actual owner
- List filing and payment deadlines
- Recheck after residence or ownership changes
