Limassol continues to stand out as Cyprus's primary commercial power hub with the highest sustained tenant purchasing power. The clustering of international fintech, shipping, and technology firms generates robust year-round occupancy with corporate rental budgets ranging from €1,500 to over €4,000 per month. The Cyprus Realty Center research team breaks down the latest market performance metrics.

2. Tax Framework on Rental Income
International investors benefit from a highly protective fiscal structure on the island:
- Non-Dom Exemption: Individuals holding Cyprus Non-Domicile tax residency status are completely exempt from the Special Defence Contribution (SDC 0% instead of standard 17%).
- Income Tax Allowance: The first €19,500 of annual personal income is taxed at 0%, with graduated brackets applying thereafter.
- Standard Deduction: A statutory 20% deemed maintenance and wear-and-tear deduction is subtracted from gross rental income prior to calculating tax liabilities.
To maximize sustained capital liquidity, prioritize properties positioned near major business parks or with unobstructed highway access. Explore hand-picked opportunities in our Limassol properties portfolio.
