Dividend tax rate
Cyprus offers a beneficial tax framework for dividends, typically exempting dividend income from taxation for corporate shareholders, and there is no withholding tax on dividends for non-resident individuals. For individual tax residents of Cyprus, a Special Defence Contribution of 17% is applicable to dividends. Certain exemptions exist, especially for dividends from foreign subsidiaries or if the distributing company is involved in business income. Double taxation treaties further improve the tax advantages for non-residents who earn dividend income from Cyprus.
