What a buyer pays in Punta Cana

What it earns
We do not publish a price or a rental yield for Punta Cana. The public data for this market is limited to index figures that show change over time but no absolute level, and we would rather show nothing than a number we cannot stand behind.
How the tax works. 27% final withholding on the gross rent paid to a non-resident (Tax Code art. 305 applying the art. 297 rate). The law treats the gross amount as net 'without admitting proof to the contrary', so no deduction is possible and the rate is the same at every rent level; Law 30-26 (2026) did not change this.
