Cyprus is the most efficient tax residency in the EU for entrepreneurs and investors. Sixty days of physical presence per year. Zero tax on dividends. Zero tax on foreign capital gains. Full EU member benefits. The Non-Domiciled regime is what makes it possible, and it lasts for seventeen years from the moment you establish residency. This guide explains exactly how it works, who qualifies, what it costs, and how to execute the move without mistakes.
What this guide is not. It is not theory. It is not motivational content. It is not a Twitter thread expanded to 34 pages. It is the operational reference we give our clients before their consultation, so they walk in already understanding the structure and can spend their time on their specific case rather than the basics. Every chapter is built from actual client work, with real numbers, real timelines, and the mistakes we have seen others make.

After reading this guide, you will know whether Cyprus Non-Dom is the right move for your situation. You will know the difference between the 60-day rule and the 183-day rule, and which one applies to you. You will know what your effective tax rate will be, what your relocation will cost, and what the timeline looks like from first decision to fully operational status. You will know what to do, what to avoid, and what questions to ask your advisers.

From Chapter 8, the Cyprus + US LLC Structure

The structure is legal, disclosed, and widely used by non-US founders serving global clients. The US LLC is disregarded for US tax purposes (no US employees, no US office, no effectively connected income). Form 5472 is filed annually as an information return. Failure to file is a $25,000 penalty per form. The Cyprus side handles the actual taxation: 15% corporate tax on the

LLC’s profits attributed up to the Cyprus parent, then 0% dividend extraction under Non-Dom. The US LLC gives you a US bank account, Stripe Atlas eligibility, and credibility with US-based clients. The Cyprus LTD gives you the tax home and the EU access. Together they form the most efficient structure available to a European entrepreneur with global customers in 2026.
