Make a Will: Tax Saving for Expats
Sam Orgill of ProACT Partnership on using a Will for Tax Saving by Expats
The Cyprus changes to Succession mean Expats must make written changes to their Will to avoid forced heirship and retain financial control of their affairs on first death.
This can be done with a simple codicil or with an update Will. Our View is that a codicil is risky: in cyprus the Will deed is stamped. A separate codicil document could be valid, but it increases the potential of being misplaced or not being consistent with the Will.

Only Pay Your Own Immovable Property Tax
Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership Expatriate Advice Suggests You enjoy the reductions in Immovable Property Tax (IMPT) and that you Only Pay Your Own Immovable Property Tax. IMPT is being scrapped in Cyprus, but don't throw away money where you are not obliged.
Developers IMPT
Don’t get caught out. Since 2014 contract of sale owners, without title deeds, have been able to register and pay IMPT directly. This is always at a lower IMPT rate than the developers who pay at a rate based upon their total land holdings.
This is because developers pay an IMPT rate based upon the whole title deed of their development. This could be 3 times as much, 1.9% instead of 0.6%. So registering to pay IMPT direct if you hold a contract of sale gives a big tax saving on your overseas property.
Buyers only have to pay developers IMPT for previous years if their contract of sale explicitly states the buyer is responsible for IMPT.

Adding Up Immovable Property Tax Savings
Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership Expatriate Advice does the sums on the new IMPT regime for Overseas Property Owners in Cyprus
Immovable Property Tax (IMPT) in Cyprus is abolished in 2017. But it gets better if you do the math. In a dramatic modernisation of the Cyprus Property Tax regime, expats owning overseas property in cyprus will have no taxes to pay for 2016 either.
Retrospectively 2015 IMPT is reduced giving a 25% tax saving. Receipts are being issued with a 25% credit reduction against the 2015 IMPT tax paid. If anyone has not yet paid 2015, not only will there be no penalty for late payment, the 2015 IMPT tax can now be paid until 31/10/2015. After this time penalties will apply for 2015 rising to 25% from 1/1/2017.
That leaves 2016 where a 75% tax saving is introduced retrospectively from the start of 2016. (100% - 75% tax saving = 25% payable). Despite plans to use new, higher, 2013 rateable values, this has been abandoned to stick with the 1980 rateable values, as used in 2015. Meaning the new 2016 IMPT tax due is equal to the discount being credited to the 2015 IMPT already paid.
This can be paid in a number of different ways.
