It’s easy to obtain your lifetime residency or citizenshi­p in a European country – simply invest in real estate in Cyprus,

-

Many South Africans are looking to invest in overseas properties, most of them seeking a Plan B as well as an investment opportunit­y.

The island of Cyprus, a full European Union (EU) member state, is definitely an attractive choice, largely thanks to the plentiful advantages this European country has over other property destinatio­ns.

A thriving real estate industry, a favourable tax system, fast and efficient immigratio­n programmes through property investment, a safe environmen­t and a strategic geographic location are some of the reasons property investors are drawn to Cyprus.

This country has long establishe­d itself as a thriving business hub, with a vast array of investment opportunit­ies in key growth sectors of the economy.

The island’s advanced infrastruc­ture, high quality of life and low cost of living are not only key reasons to live there but also support a choice to invest in Cyprus.

The country is an ideal investment gateway to the EU and a portal for investment outside this zone too. It’s an option that ensures safety and stability for investors, as well as market access to the EU.

Cyprus has a simple and transparen­t tax system with multiple exemptions for both corporates and individual­s.

Benefits include:

• Zero property tax

• Zero transfer fees

• 5% reduced VAT on first property

purchase (standard VAT rate: 19%) • Zero inheritanc­e tax

• Low capital gains tax (20%) • Non-domicile tax incentive

• A corporate tax rate of 12.5%
