Rental Income No Longer Subject to SDC

From 1 January 2026, the Special Defence Contribution on rental income was abolished for all residents. This is a notable change for anyone earning rent from property in Cyprus.

What this means

Rental income is no longer subject to the SDC charge, which makes property ownership in Cyprus more attractive for residents and investors.

Rental income is still taxed under the normal income tax rules, so your overall position should still be reviewed with an adviser.
