Cyprus · The VAT position

The 19% VAT on a Cyprus purchase is not always a cost.

Where the property is new-build and let as registered touristic accommodation, the VAT becomes recoverable input tax — subject to a ten-year retention condition that most buyers are never told about. We model it both ways before you commit.

It is not automatic, and it is not immediate. It depends on how the purchase is arranged from the outset — which is a conversation, not a download.

What it is worth
If the VAT is simply paid and never recovered
9.4%annual return over ten years
If the purchase is structured correctly from the outset
11.2%annual return over ten years

The same property, the same ten years, the same rents and the same sale price. The only difference is what happens to the VAT — and it is worth 1.8 percentage points a year on the return. Modelled on a real development in our Financial Outlooks, not an illustration.

Reference case only, pre-tax, and not a forecast. Recovery depends on the property, the letting basis and how the purchase is arranged; it is measured in months rather than weeks, and an early exit reverses part of it. Every figure and its method are set out in the Financial Outlook for the development concerned. Market commentary, not investment or tax advice — your position is confirmed in writing by admitted counsel before you commit.

In person · Cyprus & Greece

Coming out to see it for yourself?

If you are travelling to Cyprus or Greece, spend a day with us. We collect you from the airport or your hotel and take you through the areas that actually matter — what is being built, what is selling, what it is letting for, and what we would not buy.

You will also see what our development team has delivered over the last fifteen years, and how those buildings have held up since. Most people arrive to look at one apartment. A fair number leave discussing land, or coming in alongside us on something larger.

No obligation and nothing to sign. Take everything you learn to another adviser if you would rather — we would still rather you saw it properly.

The Kestrel difference

You choose the investment. We secure your family's residence with it.

Buy the investment property you want — and where it also qualifies for residence, Kestrel Private coordinates the application for your family end to end, alongside admitted local counsel. Cyprus permanent residence runs from €300,000 plus VAT; Greece's Golden Visa starts at €250,000 on a completed change of use or a listed-building restoration, and is otherwise €400,000, or €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki and the larger islands, on a single property of at least 120 m². We confirm what your purchase qualifies for in writing, before you commit.
