The Specialist Subagents Inside
Every subagent owns one capability and does it at specialist depth. The orchestrator decides which subagent runs, in what order, based on your query.

Frequently asked questions
What are the major real estate transaction taxes in MENA?
KSA imposes a 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax (RETT) on property sales since October 2020, replacing the prior 15% VAT on real estate. UAE charges 4% transfer fees in Dubai (split typically 50/50 buyer/seller) and 2% in Abu Dhabi. Egypt imposes 2.5% real estate disposal tax plus stamp duty. Qatar charges 0.25% registration fee. Oman imposes a 3% transfer fee. Most MENA jurisdictions also impose municipal/utility fees and developer escrow contributions on off-plan purchases.
How does IFRS 16 apply to real estate leases?
IFRS 16 (effective 2019) requires lessees to recognise virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability measured at the present value of unavoidable future payments. Operating-lease classification is eliminated for lessees. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance under largely unchanged rules. Short-term leases (u2264 12 months) and low-value leases (u2264 USD 5,000 new) may be excluded. Real estate often has variable lease payments (CPI-linked) requiring careful treatment.
What is escrow law in UAE and KSA real estate?
UAE and KSA both regulate real estate escrow accounts to protect off-plan buyers. UAE Escrow Law (Dubai Law 8 of 2007 amended 2017, RERA regulations) requires developer payments by buyers to flow into an escrow account at a registered bank, released to the developer based on construction milestones verified by an engineer. KSA Wafi Program (regulated by the Real Estate General Authority) similarly requires escrow for off-plan sales, with the National Development Fund supervising. Non-compliance leads to project license revocation and developer blacklisting.
How is investment property accounted for under IAS 40?
IAS 40 Investment Property allows two measurement models: (1) Fair Value Model u2014 remeasure to fair value at each reporting date, with changes recognised in P&L; (2) Cost Model u2014 measure at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, disclose fair value. Most MENA listed real estate companies (Aldar, Emaar, DAR, ROSHN) use the Fair Value Model with annual independent valuations. Property held under operating lease but classified as investment property must use Fair Value. Transfers between IP and PPE/Inventory follow specific recognition rules.
What does the Digisoul Brain Real Estate Engine cover?
The engine covers IAS 40, IFRS 16 (lessor and lessee), IFRS 15 (real estate revenue), KSA RETT, UAE Dubai Land and ADGE registration, Egyptian SODIC/El-Talaat real estate disclosure, Qatar Lusail master plan, escrow law in UAE/KSA/Egypt, off-plan sales accounting, REIT structures (Saudi REITs, Egyptian REITs), VAT on real estate (zero-rated commercial sales, exempt residential rentals), and 28+ prompt workflows including off-plan revenue recognition, fair value valuation review, and lease modification accounting.
