Apartment for sale in Russia

asks:
We sell an apartment in Russia, we have dual citizenship. The apartment has been owned for over 8 years. What tax must I pay in Germany on the income received from the sale?

Good afternoon, Irina! Since your property is located in the Russian Federation, it will not be taxed in Germany. For 100% certainty, it is better to clarify this issue with a tax consultant (Steuerberater).

Yours faithfully,
