FAQ

What is the Social Insurance (SI) rate in Cyprus for 2026?

The employee SI contribution is 8.8% of gross salary, capped at EUR 68,904 per year (the maximum insurable earnings). SI is deductible from the income-tax base, reducing your chargeable income.

What is the GHS/GESY health levy?

The General Healthcare System (GHS/GESY) employee levy is 2.65% of gross salary, capped at EUR 180,000 per year. Unlike SI, GHS is not deductible from the income-tax base -- it reduces net pay directly but does not lower your taxable income.

How is Cyprus income tax calculated?

Income tax is calculated on chargeable income, which is gross salary minus SI. The 2026 bands (provisional, per PwC): 0% up to EUR 22,000; 20% on EUR 22,001-32,000; 25% on EUR 32,001-42,000; 30% on EUR 42,001-72,000; 35% above EUR 72,000. Confirm the current rates with the Cyprus Tax Department.

Why are the tax brackets marked provisional?

The 2026 income-tax reform was reported by PwC Tax Summaries Cyprus (reviewed May 2026). Until the Cyprus Tax Department publishes the final gazette notice, treat these brackets as provisional and verify before filing your return.
