Cyprus is one of the few countries in the European Union that exempts dividends and interest for non-domiciled residents — for 17 years, with as few as 60 days on the island each year. Few people know this. Even fewer know how to execute it without a costly mistake.
A 10-second estimate. The exact figure for your situation is calculated during the consultation.
Simplified illustrative estimate, excluding social contributions, exit tax and individual circumstances. Rates for your current country are broad indications for a high-income taxpayer; your actual position may differ significantly. This is not tax advice.
Same income. Same work. A different tax residence.

Across Europe, favourable regimes are closing one after another. Cyprus has just confirmed its own.
The two-century-old British non-dom regime was abolished in April 2025.
The NHR scheme has closed; its replacement targets only a narrow set of research roles.
Flat-fee regimes aimed at very large fortunes — out of reach for most.
Only income you remit to the island is taxed — but there is an annual minimum tax, and income becomes taxable the moment you bring it in. You must weigh up every euro you remit.
0% personal income tax, but 9% corporate tax — and crucially: no European passport, no single market, and substance to prove to your home country.
The reform of 1 January 2026 left the non-dom regime intact — and even added an option to extend it to 27 years.
The Cyprus advantage is not only the rate: it is 0% on your dividends without having to weigh up what you remit (unlike Malta), while remaining inside the European Union (unlike Dubai). And every year spent elsewhere is a year of exemption lost: the 17 years begin the day you become resident.
See what this would mean for me →A structure that looks perfect on paper collapses on a detail: a rushed exit from your home country, a company without substance, an incomplete banking file. The difference is made in the execution.
The Cyprus opportunity explained clearly: the 2026 figures, the five profiles it works for, and above all the seven points where projects fail. In exchange for your email — no obligation.
Cyprus is not ideal "for everyone" — but it is remarkably well suited to these profiles. The rates below assume you are a Cyprus tax resident and hold non-domiciled status.
A Cyprus company at 15%, then dividends exempt thanks to non-dom status, and 50% of salary exempt.
Thanks to non-dom status: 0% on your dividends and interest, and securities gains exempt.
A flat 8% regime on crypto-asset disposals, new since 2026.
Foreign pension taxed at a flat 5% by election, and non-dom status on your investment income.
No wealth tax, no inheritance tax; non-dom status on income, and a path to an EU passport.
A consultation puts exact numbers on your situation in 30 minutes.
We listen to your situation and tell you frankly whether Cyprus makes sense.
We model your case, before and after, and compare the scenarios.
A dated roadmap: who does what, in which order, with which documents.
We coordinate the lawyer, fiduciary, bank and your home-country adviser.
No — quite the opposite. The reform of 1 January 2026 left the non-dom regime intact (0% SDC on dividends and interest) and even introduced an option to extend it beyond 17 years. Corporate tax rose to 15%.
You must establish genuine tax residency. The 60-day rule makes this possible with a home, an activity and real substance — but a letterbox arrangement with no actual presence will not hold.
This is the most important point. Moving to Cyprus (an EU state), deferral of payment is automatic and without guarantees, and the tax can be fully relieved after 2 to 5 years. We frame this before any departure.
No, unless you are seeking fast-track permanent residency (€300,000), which is for non-EU nationals. EU citizens can settle with no required investment.
A typical relocation runs over 6 to 12 months. Permanent residency by investment is often obtained in 2 to 6 months once the file is complete.
Tax is only the doorway. Here is what lies behind it.
After 8 years of residence: naturalisation, and with it a European passport. Visa-free access to around 170 destinations.
No inheritance tax, no wealth tax, no gift tax. Your estate passes on intact.
Warm sea, among the lowest crime rates in Europe, international schools. A life project, not just a spreadsheet.
English common law tradition, English used throughout business. You can set up a company without a word of Greek.
Permanent residency by investment is obtained in months — not years.
A network of more than 65 treaties: you stay connected to the world, without double taxation.
The four objections we hear most often. Our answers, without spin.
It is written in black and white in Cypriot law, in an EU member state subject to automatic exchange of information. Nothing opaque: its legality rests precisely on transparency.
The 60-day rule was designed for mobile profiles. It requires genuine presence and substance — but not living there all year round.
That is the real issue, and the first one we address: a documented break in residence, exit tax neutralised by EU deferral. Done in the right order, it holds up.
It is — which is why we exist. You do not need to become an expert: you follow a roadmap while we coordinate lawyer, fiduciary and bank.
The only question that matters: does it work for YOUR situation? A 30-minute conversation is enough to find out.
