Cyprus Tax Residency for UK Business Owners
The UK non-dom regime ended in April 2025. Cyprus offers 0% dividend tax, 0% inheritance tax, and tax residency in just 60 days - the only EU country with this option. Here's the data.
The UK Tax Problem
A UK Ltd company director earning GBP 200,000 in profit faces a combined effective tax rate of roughly 60%. Corporation tax at 25%, followed by dividend tax at 33.75% on higher-rate income, and 40% inheritance tax on everything above GBP 325,000.
The same person in Cyprus pays 12.5% corporation tax (15% from 2026), 0% dividend tax as a non-domiciled resident, and 0% inheritance tax. That's an effective rate of roughly 18% - a 70%+ reduction, entirely legally, within the EU framework.
These aren't hypothetical projections. They're the published tax rates of two countries connected by a double taxation agreement. The articles below walk through every detail.
