Cyprus has established itself as one of the most attractive jurisdictions in the European Union for internationally mobile entrepreneurs, digital professionals, and high-net-worth families.
At the core of this appeal is the Special Defence Contribution (SDC) Law and the Cyprus Non-Domicile (Non-Dom) regime, introduced in 2015 to attract foreign talent and capital.
Under this regime, individuals who relocate and become tax residents of Cyprus are exempt from SDC for up to 17 years, provided they are not considered "domiciled" in Cyprus.
Key Benefits of Cyprus Non-Dom Status:
0% tax on worldwide dividend income (whether distributed by Cyprus companies or foreign entities).
0% tax on worldwide interest income (with no withholding taxes).
0% tax on capital gains arising from the sale of shares, bonds, debentures, and other financial titles (with the exception of gains from immovable property situated in Cyprus).
No inheritance, estate, or wealth tax.
How to Qualify:
To enjoy Non-Dom status, you must first establish Cyprus tax residency under either the 183-day rule or the highly popular 60-day rule.
At ATZ FinHub, our team coordinates the entire process: tax residency determination, Tax Department registration, issuance of your Tax Identification Code (TIC), and the formal application for Non-Dom certification.
