About Cyprus
Cyprus pairs full EU membership with one of Europe's most competitive corporate tax rates (12.5%) and an attractive non-dom regime — worth understanding precisely, because it's a personal tax status, not an automatic company benefit. The 0% treatment on dividends and passive interest applies to you as an individual once you're a Cyprus tax resident with non-dom status, which you can establish under the 60-day rule: a minimum of 60 days physically present in Cyprus each year, no more than 183 days in any other single country, a permanent home, and genuine business or directorship activity in Cyprus. A 2026 change made this easier — you no longer have to give up tax residency elsewhere to qualify, so it stacks with residency you already hold in another country. Non-dom status itself isn't unlimited either; it runs for a defined number of years before standard rules apply, though it can be extended. None of this changes the company's own low, flat corporate tax rate, which applies regardless of where the owner lives — it's the personal dividend treatment that has real conditions. Cyprus remains a top choice for holding companies, IP structures and entrepreneurs who want genuine EU access with efficient, transparent taxation.
