of the last 20 years, and which requires you to spend more than 183 days per year in the

country or follow the 60-day rule under specified conditions. The 60-day rule allows

individuals to qualify as tax residents if they:


  • Do not reside in any other single country for more than 183 days

  • Are not tax residents in any other country

  • Spend at least 60 days in Cyprus

  • Have other significant ties to Cyprus, such as owning or renting property, or running a business



THE MAIN TAX ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:


Non-doms are exempt from the 17% Special Defence Contribution on dividends


  • Interest Income: Non-doms are exempt from the 30%SDC on interest income, whihch makes Cyprus particularly attractive for individuals with significant interest-bearing investments


  • Rental Income: Non-doms are exempt from the 3% SDC on 75% of gross rental income, significantly reducing the effective tax rate on rental income
