Cyprus Tax Residency 183-Day & 60-Day Rules
Unlocks non-dom status — zero SDC on dividends and interest for up to 17 years, no inheritance tax, no wealth tax. Aligned with immigration pathway from the start.
Immigration and Tax Planning Go Hand in Hand.
Most people think of immigration and tax planning as two separate processes. They are not. The permit you choose, the date you arrive, and the way your income is structured all have direct tax consequences. We make sure these are aligned from the very first conversation — not patched together after the fact.
Example:
A freelancer earning €120,000/year relocates to Cyprus, establishes a Cyprus company, and takes advantage of non-dom status. The company pays 15% corporate tax. Dividends distributed to the owner carry zero Special Defence Contribution under non-dom status. Their effective position changes dramatically compared to paying 45%+ in their home country. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances — we connect clients with qualified Cyprus tax advisors as part of our service.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Most people come to us with one question and leave the first conversation with a clear
plan. Tell us your situation and we will tell you which permit applies, what it involves,
and what the next step looks like.
