Tax strategy, residency, and relocation explained by the people who do it
Cyprus is gaining attention from internationally mobile founders and private wealth. Here’s what the 2026 Henley wealth mobility data says, and what it actually means for founders considering Cyprus.
The UK does not have a deemed-sale exit tax, which surprises founders who expected one. But that does not mean you can leave and sell freely. A temporary non-residence rule can reach back and tax certain gains you realised abroad if you return too soon. The whole question is timing.
Cyprus can be highly effective for the right founder, but tax rates alone do not determine whether the move makes sense. Assess your income, business structure, timing and lifestyle before you commit.
Reading about the Non-Dom regime and the 60-day rule is the start. Implementing it correctly, with the right structure and timing is where Royal Pine comes in.
