Retirees who become residents in Cyprus are taxed on their pensions from abroad at the rate of 5% per annum while an exemption of the first €3,417 is granted. Additionally, Cyprus has Double Taxation treaties with many European and other countries, safe-guarding its residents from paying tax in both coun-tries. This gives the option to the citizens of those countries to take advantage of the very low rate in Cyprus.
