The Cyprus Parliament has approved in July 2017 an amendment to the Cyprus Income Tax Law, Law 119(I)/2017 (the “Law”) pursuant to which the definition of an individual considered as a Cyprus tax resident has been extended. The amendment is effective as from 1 January 2017.
Before the amendment to the Law, an individual is considered as a Cyprus tax resident if he/she stays in Cyprus for one or more periods exceeding in aggregate 183 days in a tax year.
