Step 6: After the Sale
Congratulations — you’ve successfully sold your home in Aruba! While the paperwork may be complete and the keys handed over, there are still a few important things to consider after the sale.
Understanding Taxes After Selling
Depending on your situation, you may need to account for certain tax obligations. For example:
- Capital gains tax may apply depending on whether an entity owned the property.
- If you’re a non-resident, you’ll only be taxed on income earned in Aruba, currency exchange tax might be due if sending funds overseas.
- Residents may have additional reporting obligations on worldwide income.
It’s always best to consult with a local tax professional or notary for personalized advice. Your Aruba Lifestyle Realty agent can connect you with trusted experts to make sure you’re fully informed.
