Cyprus remains a compelling home for wealth and succession planning. For HNWIs, families and international businesses, it pairs an EU, English common law environment with a mature private client and professional services sector.
Our firm contributed the Cyprus chapter of the Chambers Private Wealth 2026 Global Practice Guide, which offers a practical overview of the private wealth landscape in Cyprus.
The chapter looks at the features that keep Cyprus firmly on the map, such as:
- A non-dom regime that shelters passive income for up to 17 years, with dividends and interest exempt from SDC - one of the most attractive personal tax incentives in the EU;
- No inheritance tax, and no estate duty, wealth tax or gift tax - a rare combination for succession planning across generation;
- An extensive treaty network of more than 65 double tax treaties, delivering nil or reduced withholding tax on cross-border income;
- A full toolkit of wealth structuring vehicles - the Cyprus International Trust, foundations and family investment companies - recognised, protected and upheld under a clear common law framework; and
- A predictable tax environment, broadly stable for 15 years and now modernised by reforms effective 1 January 2026.
