Cyprus
Europe
EU member with a digital nomad visa, a non-dom tax regime and an unusual 60-day tax residency route. Not yet in Schengen, so it still counts short stays nationally.
General information

What you would actually pay
The headline rates, and the qualifier that has to travel with them. Every figure comes from Cyprus's own cross-checked rules, not from an estimate.
- Income tax
- 0% up to EUR 22,000, then 20 to 35%. Half your salary above EUR 55,000 is exempt for 17 years.
- Corporate tax
- 15% from 2026, up from 12.5%.
- Getting profit out
- 0% for a non-dom. The exemption is now worth 5 points, not the 17 you may have read.
- Honest all-in
- About 3% on qualifying IP or on new equity through the notional interest deduction.
The catch
Non-dom status runs 17 years, extendable to 27 for a fee. The 60-day residency route needs a home and a Cyprus tie, not just 60 days.
Common risks
Patterns that often catch cross-border workers here. Whether they apply to you depends on your setup.
