Following the extension of tax relief on disposal of immovable property for the purposes of restructuring non-performing loans introduced by Laws 96(I), 98(I), 99(I) and 100(I) of 2018, the Cyprus Tax Department has announced that its form 415 (Disposal of Property due to Loan Restructuring) has been revised and a new form 415B (Immovable Property Declaration due to Loan Restructuring – Supplementary Certificate) has been published. Both are available on the Tax Department’s website.

The recent amendments to the law extend the tax exemptions available for loan restructurings to sales of immovable property to non-connected persons for the purpose of repaying loans which were not being serviced at 31 December 2015, as defined in EU Executive Regulation 2015/227.

Cyprus Corporate Tax Is Now 15%: Who Pays 8 Points Less, And Why Non-Doms Pay More

Cyprus has raised its corporate income tax rate from 12.5% to 15%, but the total tax burden on distributed profits has actually fallen by more than eight percentage points for Cyprus-domiciled shareholders due to a dramatic cut in the Special Contribution for Defence on dividends. However, non-domiciled residents and foreign shareholders now face higher effective rates, fundamentally reshaping the island's tax competitiveness for different investor categories.

You Can Now Be Cyprus Tax Resident In 60 Days Even If Another Country Still Claims You

Cyprus removed a key barrier to its 60-day tax residency rule in January 2026, allowing applicants to qualify even if another country still claims them as tax resident. The change shifts the resolution of competing residency claims from domestic statute to double tax treaty tie-breaker provisions, fundamentally altering how internationally mobile business owners and executives can establish Cyprus tax residency.

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers. That voluntary approach produced patchy results: by most accounts, fewer than half of EU countries had actually acted on those recommendations. It is worth asking whether the adoption levels were however a failure of design, or a reflection of Member States reaching different conclusions about their risk exposures.

Jurisdiction In Cross-border Litigation: Insights From A Recent Cyprus Court Decision

It is not uncommon for high-value commercial disputes to give rise to jurisdictional issues, particularly where they involve multiple defendants domiciled in different jurisdictions or where one or more parties have entered into agreements containing jurisdiction clauses. The reason is straightforward: if the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, the proceedings may effectively come to an end at the outset. Accordingly, the issue of jurisdiction must be determined by the Court as a preliminary matter and at the earliest stage of proceedings.
