Cyprus uses a progressive income tax system for employment income. The first EUR 22,000 of annual salary is completely tax-free under the 2026 reform. GESY contributions are 2.65% of gross salary (employer adds a further 2.90%), capped at an annual maximum of EUR 4,770 per employee. As a Non-Dom resident receiving dividends instead of salary, no income tax applies - only the 2.65% GESY.
