Every page states its answer in the first sixty words, shows the date it was last reviewed, cites the legislation it rests on, and names the adviser accountable for it. Where a question has no settled answer, the page sets out what the position turns on instead of asserting one.

Decision
Dividends cost less, at every income level we have modelled, with or without a relocation exemption. For a non-domiciled founder the gap is wide. There are still reasons to pay yourself a salary, and none of them are tax reasons: a residence permit may require one, dividends need distributable profits, and contributions buy social insurance entitlement.
Guide
The 2026 reform abolished the Special Defence Contribution on rental income. What remains is income tax for an individual or corporate income tax at 15 percent for a company, in both cases after a statutory 20 percent deduction on gross rents and the deductible expenses.
Playbook
Choose a route, either more than 183 days in Cyprus or the four conditions of the 60-day rule, then establish the facts before the tax year begins rather than during it. Register with the Tax Department, obtain a tax identification number, and claim non-domiciled status separately.
Decision
We treat a founder's salary as a related party cost and outside qualifying expenditure. The Regulations admit wages and salaries but exclude amounts paid to a connected person for carrying out research and development, and a founder who owns the company and writes the code is both.
Decision
Start by confirming the licence, because providing company administration and directorships in Cyprus is a regulated activity. After that the questions that separate providers are who signs, what happens when they disagree with you, and what the fee actually includes.
Decision
Not on the same asset. Cyprus grants an additional 20 percent deduction on development spending for the years 2025 to 2030, giving 120 percent. It is not available for expenditure on a qualifying intangible asset where the IP Box has been applied in any year, including the current one.

By intent
Every page declares the posture it is written for.
It starts with three questions: where your revenue comes from, what you own, and where you are tax resident. From there, the conversation is about what you are building and where you want to take it. After the call, you receive a written proposal covering the recommended structure, the implementation roadmap, and a fixed fee quote.
