Crypto traders & investors
Individuals with significant crypto gains who want a clear, predictable tax framework at 8% rather than income tax rates.
Crypto & Digital Assets
Cyprus introduced a flat 8% crypto disposal tax in 2026 — one of the lowest dedicated crypto tax rates in the EU. Combined with MiCA regulation, CASP licensing, and the island's favourable corporate tax framework, Cyprus is positioning itself as a premier EU jurisdiction for digital asset businesses.

— Tax Framework
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crypto Disposal Tax | Flat 8% on gains from the disposal of crypto-assets (sale, exchange, payment) |
| Scope | Applies to individuals and companies disposing of crypto-assets while Cyprus tax resident |
| Ring-Fencing | Crypto losses can only offset crypto gains — they cannot reduce other taxable income |
| Corporate Trading | Crypto trading income of a company may alternatively fall under 15% CIT if classified as business income |
| Staking & Yield | Staking rewards and DeFi yield are generally treated as income, subject to CIT at 15% |
| NFTs | Taxed based on the underlying nature — utility tokens vs. financial instruments |
| Reporting | DAC8 (EU-wide reporting) requires CASPs to report customer transactions to tax authorities |
