Have any US citizens/residents sold property in DR?

We are potentially looking to sell for a profit our house and lots in the DR. I read some threads, but they weren't super detailed. I'm fairly convinced we will be paying 27% capital gains to the DR in taxes.

My question for other US citizens/residents is:聽 Since there is no tax treaty between US and DR, does that mean I can't claim Foreign Tax Credit?聽 And/or if we can claim it, can we only claim capital gains tax credit in the amount that the US charges on capital gains? (meaning 15%)聽 Or should I plan to pay 15% AGAIN on the capital gains here in the US???? Yikes!

I'm in the weeds here. And the IRS website reads like stereo instructions...

I haven't looked into this myself, but I have a broker and am trying to sell my house here in Las Terrenas.聽 So this topic is of great interest to me and I will be following it! Thanks for bringing it up.

Please consider contacting Mr. Krause who often helps expats here. Mr. Krause speaks English and many other languages! I dont know if he has the answers but he is honest and reliable which is hard to find in DR.

Check with government sources as well as private attorneys.聽 A couple of the larger firms have tax specialists.
