One of the most influential aspects of to any land transaction’s chances of financial success is transaction taxation.

Among the various types of land transactions handled by the firm, the following can be listed:

Sale transactions:

Our firm provides consultation services for private and business buyers and sellers for the purchase and sale of land of any type, including among other things the purchase and sale of apartments, buildings, farm lands and large land areas intended for repurposing for residence or other purposes such as trade and employment.

Constructions services transactions:

Our firm counsels both entrepreneurs and land owners who chose to enter into a construction services contract.
These transactions are characterized by the legal necessity to provide cover and defense both for the entrepreneur and the land owners. In this case there is no sale transaction, however here too the payment of tax, VAT for the construction services is required and while creating the legal agreement, taxation and the entrepreneurial profit component of the contractor for the planning and construction costs, should be taken into account.

Combined transactions:

In cases of transactions with multiple owners, when each owner prefers a different form of contract with the entrepreneur, then combined transactions must be created.
Our firm specializes in legal consultation for transactions combining a sale transaction with a combination, for example, or combination with construction services transactions.

Urban renewal transactions TMA 38 and evacuation-building ("Pinuy Binuy"):

Starting 2006, in light of special legislation, we have been witnessing an increase in TMA 38 and evacuation-building transactions, the execution of which is encouraged by the State, both for reasons of protecting the resident populations of dilapidated buildings and by force of the paucity of lands available for construction. These transactions are some of the most complex land transactions in the market.

TMA 38 transactions and evacuation-building transactions are very complex as sale transactions, requiring knowledge, professionality and great experience for their realization and success, and necessitate great care in their creation, especially with regards to the various taxation aspects of TMA and evacuation-building transactions.

Our firm has proven experience of many years, gathered from many such transactions in the field of urban renewal, and among our clients are residents of large evacuation-building and TMA 38 projects, as well as some of the largest and most well-known entrepreneurial companies in the market.
