Property developers, investors, and REIT-style structures benefit from specialist rather than general accounting advice.
Cyprus real estate tax landscape
Cyprus real estate transactions involve multiple tax layers: transfer fees on property purchases (progressive 3-8%, with 50% discount for VAT-paid new-build); VAT on new-build residential property (19%, with reduced 5% rate for main residence up to 200sqm); capital gains tax on disposal of Cyprus-situated immovable property (20% on the gain); Local Immovable Property Tax (abolished 2017 for annual, but transaction-level charges remain); and rental income taxed under normal income tax rules.
Real estate holding structures range from direct ownership to Cyprus companies, partnerships, and specialist REIT-type vehicles.
