Transfer Fees
&
Stamp Duty Calculator

This tax calculator helps you estimate your tax liability when buying a freehold property in Cyprus.

Transfer Fees: These fees are paid by the buyer to register the property in their name. They are calculated based on the property’s market value as determined by the Land Registry on the purchase date. If you pay VAT on the property, you won’t need to pay Transfer Fees.

Stamp Duties: This is a tax that property buyers pay when registering the property sales agreement with the Land Registry.

The above calculation is an approximate indication for information purposes. It does not constitute professional advice.

The Cyprus Parliament announced the abolishment or reduction of the property transfer fees on the following cases:

  1. Total exemption from transfer fees, if the transfer relates to a transaction that is subject to VAT
  2. In case a transaction is not subject to VAT (e.g resale property), the legislation provides an exemption of 50% on the amount of transfer fees. This exemption is taken into account by the calculator.
  3. In case a property is registered as a sole property in a Company & the transaction involves the purchase of that company/property, then the buyer receives a total exemption from transfer fees.
