How much do I save with Cyprus Non-Dom status?
Your dividend tax where you are now, against Cyprus as a Non-Dom, per year and over the 17 years the status lasts.

A Cyprus tax resident who is not domiciled in Cyprus pays 0% Special Defence Contribution on dividends and interest for 17 years. The only charge on dividends is GESY at 2.65%, capped at €180,000 of income, so never more than €4,770 a year.
Non-Dom status can only be obtained once Cyprus tax residency is established, under the 60-day or the 183-day rule. The comparison applies your current country's own 2026 allowances and bands to the dividends, converted at a stated exchange rate, with the sources linked under the result.
