Private Client Tax & Relocation
Moving to a new country is a personal decision with implications for your family, wealth and business interests. Understanding those implications early helps you plan with confidence.
At AGPLAW, we advise individuals, families and entrepreneurs on the legal and tax considerations of living in Cyprus and managing wealth across borders. We bring together our private client, tax, immigration, corporate and property teams to provide coordinated support throughout the process.
Whether you are considering a move, establishing a family base or reviewing your affairs after relocation, we help you develop arrangements suited to your circumstances and long-term objectives.
Personal Tax Planning
Effective tax planning starts with understanding your circumstances: where you live, how your income arises and where your assets and business interests are held.
Our services include:
- Tax Residence and Domicile - Assessing your position and advising on the conditions and implications of relevant Cyprus tax rules.
- Income and Investments - Reviewing the Cyprus tax treatment of employment income, dividends, interest, rental income and other personal receipts.
- Asset Transactions - Advising on the tax implications of proposed acquisitions, disposals, gifts and changes in ownership.
- Pre-Relocation Reviews - Identifying matters to address before moving, in coordination with advisers in your country of departure.
A successful relocation involves more than securing the right to reside. Personal, family and business arrangements need to work together.
Residence & Relocation
We assist with:
- Immigration and Residence - Identifying appropriate residence routes and supporting the relevant applications.
- Family Relocation - Coordinating residence arrangements for spouses, children and other eligible dependants.
- Property and Accommodation - Providing legal support for purchasing or renting a home in Cyprus.
- Business Connections - Reviewing how your move may affect your role as a shareholder, director, employee or business owner.
We consider immigration status and tax residence separately, helping you understand the requirements relevant to each.
Relocation can affect existing ownership structures and succession arrangements. We help clients review these connections so that decisions made in one country are considered alongside their implications elsewhere.
International Wealth
Our support includes:
- Cross-Border Coordination - Working with overseas advisers on residence, income sources, treaty considerations and reporting obligations.
- Trusts and Companies - Reviewing the implications of relocation for existing trusts, holding companies and family investment structures.
- Succession Arrangements - Considering whether wills, estate plans and family ownership arrangements require updating.
- International Business Interests - Assessing questions arising from managing overseas businesses while living in Cyprus.
Personal circumstances and tax obligations continue to evolve after a move. We provide ongoing support to help clients keep their arrangements and compliance up to date.
Our services include assistance with Cyprus tax registration, coordination of personal tax filings and reviews following changes in residence, family circumstances, income or asset ownership. Where other jurisdictions are involved, we work with the relevant advisers to maintain a coordinated approach.
