Tax Residency & Non-Dom

Tax Residency & Non-Dom

Cyprus offers one of the most attractive personal tax regimes in Europe, particularly through its non-domiciled (non-dom) framework. This has made it a preferred destination for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and executives seeking to optimise their personal tax position while relocating within the EU. 

At Aliant Law Cyprus, we advise individuals and families on establishing tax residency in Cyprus and assessing eligibility for non-dom status. We provide clear guidance on the legal requirements for becoming tax resident, including physical presence tests, ties to Cyprus and relevant documentation. 

We assist clients in structuring their affairs to align with Cyprus tax residency rules, including income planning, asset structuring and relocation strategy. Our role is to ensure that the legal aspects of residency and tax status are properly aligned and supported by appropriate documentation. 

For clients relocating to Cyprus, we coordinate closely with our immigration and corporate teams to ensure a seamless transition. This integrated approach is particularly important where individuals are establishing businesses, acquiring property or managing international assets. 

We also advise on ongoing compliance considerations and how to maintain tax residency status over time. Our focus is on providing clarity, certainty and long-term planning. 

Cyprus non-dom status can provide significant tax advantages when structured correctly. Our role is to guide clients through the process in a way that is compliant, efficient and aligned with their broader financial objectives.
