A quick reference for Cyprus-resident investors holding UCITS ETFs — dividend and capital-gains tax, the reduced US withholding rate via tax treaties, allowances, and whether accumulating or distributing is more efficient.
Non-domiciled residents pay 0% on dividends (exempt from SDC) and 0% CGT on securities for 17 years. Only a 2.65% GHS health levy may apply (capped). Extremely favourable for expat investors.
Upgrade to Pro to model any UCITS ETF in Cyprus — withholding, local tax, allowances and your real take-home income.
