Cyprus Tax Reform Effective from 1 January 2026

Effective from 1 January 2026, Cyprus introduces major changes to its tax system, impacting corporate taxation, personal income tax, and dividend rules — while keeping the elements that make Cyprus a leading EU business jurisdiction.

At MyFirm Global LTD, we guide businesses and investors through these changes to ensure optimal tax planning, compliance, and strategic structuring.


Key Corporate Tax Changes
  • Corporate tax rate: Raised from 12.5% to 15%, aligning Cyprus with OECD Pillar Two rules.
  • Abolition of Deemed Dividend Distribution (DDD): Profits can now be retained indefinitely; dividends are taxed only when distributed, improving cash flow and investment flexibility.
  • Dividend tax for individuals: Reduced from 17% to 5% for Cyprus tax-resident and domiciled individuals. Non-doms continue enjoying 0% tax on dividends and interest.
  • Crypto and stock-based remuneration: Gains from crypto disposals taxed at 8%; employee stock options also taxed at 8% under approved schemes.

Other incentives remain: IP Box regime, Notional Interest Deduction (NID), participation exemptions, and no capital gains tax on securities.

Personal Tax Updates

  • Tax-free threshold: Increased to €22,000.
  • New progressive bands: Up to 35% for income above €72,000.
  • New deductions: For dependents, mortgage interest or rent, energy efficiency improvements, and home insurance.

These changes simplify compliance while supporting households and sustainable investments.
