From April 2025, the UK's remittance basis is closed to new arrivals and existing non-doms face a residence-based worldwide tax charge. Cyprus offers a working, 20-year-proven non-dom framework - with EU membership, a fast 60-day residency route, and full SDC exemption on dividends and interest.
No obligation. Structured for UK-domiciled individuals assessing relocation before the next UK tax year.
The remittance basis is closed. Cyprus's non-dom regime - unchanged for over a decade - remains one of the most stable HNW tax residencies in the EU.
Three structural advantages that matter most to someone relocating out of the UK system.
Cyprus's 60-day physical presence test - alongside a permanent home and no residency elsewhere for 183+ days - lets you establish tax residency on a defined, trackable timeline rather than an open-ended relocation.
Non-dom status exempts you from Special Defence Contribution on dividend and interest income for up to 17 years - the single largest driver of effective tax rate for most non-dom-eligible individuals.
Relocation solves residency. It doesn't solve banking. PMG Expat Plus pairs your move with a tiered Cyprus banking membership built for exactly this transition - credit history, mortgage pathway, and a bank that recognises non-dom structuring.
We review your current UK domicile status, income sources, and timeline against the UK transition rules, and confirm Cyprus non-dom eligibility before you commit to anything.
Company formation, residency application, and - where relevant - corporate restructuring are handled in-house, sworn and filed by our advocate-led team, not outsourced to third parties.
We track your qualifying days against the residency test and confirm the point at which your non-dom status and SDC exemption take effect.
PMG Expat Plus and our accounting team handle the parts that outlast the move itself - banking access, annual filings, and staying current as UK and Cyprus rules evolve.
A tiered Cyprus banking membership built for people the EMI world wasn't designed for - real accounts, credit history, and a pathway to mortgages and everyday banking that survives the move.
UK domicile and tax residence are assessed separately, and transitional rules apply depending on your circumstances. We review your specific position before recommending a timeline.
Yes, in most cases - UK-source income remains taxable in the UK regardless of where you're resident. What changes is the treatment of your non-UK income and gains, which is where the Cyprus non-dom exemption applies.
Yes, provided you also maintain a permanent home in Cyprus, don't spend 183+ days in any other single country, and meet the business/employment ties test. We confirm eligibility against your specific circumstances first.
IHT is moving to a residence-based test in the UK, with its own transitional timeline. This is assessed alongside - not instead of - your income tax position, and we cover it as part of the initial review.
