For foreigners , these are Some ways to reduce or are using to reduce tax: Establish a local company: By setting up a local company in the target country and placing the property under the company's name, the property might be considered a local company asset rather than a foreigner's asset. This arrangement could help reduce property taxes for foreigners. For example, if a 15% additional property tax applies to foreign individuals, but by setting up a local company, this additional tax could be avoided. Partner with a local partner: Consider forming a joint venture or partnership with a local partner. Placing the property under the joint venture's name or incorporating the local partner into the property's ownership structure could help lower property taxes. A case in point is when
