Important notice
Valuation: Market price estimates are based on statistical modelling of 150,000+ Cyprus property listings. Actual value depends on property condition, legal status, renovation quality, and other factors not assessed by this model.
Transfer fees: Calculated with the 50% statutory reduction applicable to resale transactions not subject to VAT, where the transaction reflects market value and is conducted at arm's length. VAT applies to primary residence purchases (first 130 m²) and other new properties from developers. Transfer fees are not applicable when VAT is paid.
Stamp duty: Abolished from 1 January 2026 under Law N. 239(I)/2025. Not applicable to transactions signed from this date.
Capital gains tax: CGT is charged at 20% on net gains above the applicable lifetime exemption: €30,000 for general disposals, €150,000 for primary residence disposal (2026 rates under Law N. 239(I)/2025). Exemptions are cumulative lifetime allowances and do not reset. Primary residence exemption requires minimum 5 years of occupation.
Rental income tax: Calculated on 80% of gross annual rent (20% expense deduction) added to other declared income, using 2026 progressive income tax brackets (0% up to €22,000; 20% to €32,000; 25% to €42,000; 30% to €72,000; 35% above). GeSY contribution at 2.65% applies to gross rental income for all Cyprus tax residents. Special Defence Contribution (SDC) on rental income was abolished from 1 January 2026 for all Cyprus tax residents.
