Who Qualifies
Must not have been Cyprus tax resident for at least 17 of the 20 years immediately before becoming resident. Applies automatically to most foreigners moving to Cyprus.
Need Cyprus tax residency first (60-day rule or 183+ days). Once resident AND non-domiciled, benefits apply automatically.
Non-Dom benefits last up to 17 years from becoming Cyprus tax resident. Extremely long planning horizon.
Non-Dom Tax Benefits
0% tax on dividends from Cyprus and foreign companies. No income tax, no Special Defense Contribution. Business owners extract profits completely tax-free.
Bank interest, bond income: 0% tax. Regular residents pay 30% SDC on interest. Massive difference for fixed-income investors.
Special Defense Contribution (17% on dividends/interest for regular residents) does NOT apply to Non-Doms. Saves thousands.
Non-Dom (0% dividends/interest) + Cyprus 0% capital gains on securities/crypto = complete investment income tax exemption.
