 Special Contribution for Defence and General Healthcare Contributions for rental income

It is reminded that Cyprus tax resident individuals who earn rental income for which obligation for withholding Special Contribution for Defence (SDC) and General Healthcare Contribution (GHS) does not exist, are subject to SDC and GHS twice a year, i.e. on 30 June and on 31 December each year.

Therefore, all Cyprus tax resident individual landlords need to pay SDC and GHS on their rental income earned in 2021, by the dates specified.

Based on the above, the payments can be done through JCC Portal https://www.jccsmart.com/ and through Tax Portal https://taxportal.mof.gov.cy/
