2026 Cyprus assumptions used by this calculator

Non-Dom statusForeign dividends and passive interest are generally exempt from Cyprus Special Defence Contribution while Non-Dom status applies. The calculator still allows for 2.65% GESY on relevant investment income.
SDC reform planningFor domiciled taxpayers, the model separates older 17% dividend SDC assumptions from the proposed 5% rate for profits generated from 2026 onward.
Capital gainsCyprus generally does not tax gains from selling listed shares, bonds and most fund units, so this tool uses 0% CGT for mainstream portfolio securities.

This is planning guidance, not tax advice. Cyprus residence, domicile, fund structure, pension wrapper, remittance pattern and source country rules can change the result.
