Capital gains tax is payable by both residents and non-residents at a rate of 20 per cent on gains from the disposal of immovable property in Cyprus.

If the property is a principal residence, there’s a lifetime (i.e. once only) exemption of CY£50,000. For any other kind of property (e.g. a holiday home), only CY£10,000 is exempt, and this exemption is per registered owner, not per property. (You cannot claim both of these exemptions!)
Other exemptions from capital gains tax include the following:

• Transfers due to death;
• Gifts to close relatives such as spouses or children;
• Gift to the government or a charity;
• Exchanges or sale in accordance with Agricultural Land Laws;
• Exchanges of properties where the value is equal.

If you’ve made any improvements or additions to the property, this will be deducted from the assumed profit, thereby reducing your liability.
