What counts as a property "gift" in Dubai?

A property gift transfer applies specifically to transfers between first-degree relatives: husband and wife, parents and children. Transfers between siblings, or between aunts or uncles and nieces or nephews, don't qualify as gifts under Dubai Land Department rules and are treated as a standard sale, which carries the standard 4% transfer fee rather than gifting fees.

How much does it cost to gift a property in Dubai?

Gifting fees are calculated at 0.125% of the Dubai Land Department's valuation of the property, considerably lower than the 4% fee applied to standard sales. This is one of the reasons gift transfers are commonly used between immediate family members rather than structuring the transfer as a sale.
