Cyprus tax rates and potential

In the past 3 years, over 300 000 people moved to Cyprus. Up to 70% of them are IT-experts and entrepreneurs with an average income ranging from € 5,000 to € 250,000. These are no tourists — they came to Cyprus to stay and many of them consider purchasing residential real estate in the near future.
