Cyprus Tax Residency Programme
Located at the crossroads between Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Cyprus offers an excellent strategic location. Together with its EU membership, culture and advanced infrastructure, Cyprus is a highly attractive destination for individuals and their families.
With the correct advanced planning, those who choose to become tax resident in Cyprus are able to minimise and even eliminate tax on certain sources of income. Being a non-domiciled tax resident in Cyprus also provides additional tax benefits.
