FAQ

Common questions about
Cyprus for digital wealth.

Cyprus does not classify cryptocurrency as a security or currency for tax purposes. Under the non-domicile (non-dom) regime, crypto capital gains are subject to just 8% Capital Gains Tax, and dividends paid from a Cyprus company are exempt from Special Defence Contribution for 17 years. Combined with the 60-day tax residency rule, crypto investors can achieve effectively 8% flat tax on crypto gains and dividends.
Absolutely. Cyprus offers a 12.5% corporate tax rate, reducible to an effective 2.5% through the IP Box regime for qualifying intellectual property income — ideal for AI companies licensing models, APIs, and software. Combined with 0% dividend tax under non-dom status, a 60-day tax residency option, and EU membership (providing GDPR alignment and regulatory credibility), Cyprus is increasingly attractive for AI and SaaS companies operating globally.
The Cyprus non-domicile (non-dom) regime exempts qualifying individuals from Special Defence Contribution tax on dividends, interest, and rental income for 17 years. Any individual who has not been a Cyprus tax resident for 17 of the preceding 20 years automatically qualifies. This means 0% tax on dividends, 0% on interest income, and 0% on foreign rental income.
Yes. Cyprus offers a 60-day tax residency rule as an alternative to the standard 183-day rule. To qualify, you must spend at least 60 days in Cyprus during the tax year, not be a tax resident of any other country, not spend more than 183 days in any other single country, and maintain a permanent residence (owned or rented) and business activity in Cyprus (e.g., a registered Cyprus company).
The minimum qualifying investment for Cyprus permanent residency is €300,000 plus VAT in new residential property, commercial real estate, Cyprus company shares, or approved investment funds. Applicants must also demonstrate secure annual income of at least €50,000 from abroad (plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 per dependent child).
Yes. A growing number of property developers and agents in Cyprus accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stablecoins, and other cryptocurrencies for property purchases. The transaction is legally formalized through a standard Sales Agreement and registered with the Cyprus Land Registry. All AML/KYC compliance requirements apply, and you should work with a solicitor experienced in crypto-to-property transactions.
The Cyprus IP Box regime allows qualifying intellectual property income to be taxed at an effective rate of just 2.5%. This applies to income from patents, copyrighted software, and other qualifying IP assets. For AI companies, SaaS businesses, and software developers, this means licensing revenue, API access fees, and software subscriptions can be taxed at one of the lowest rates globally when structured through a Cyprus entity.
