<strong>non-dom advantages<\/strong> \u2014 these are topics that are increasingly of interest to entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you receive dividends from business in Lithuania or abroad, <strong>the choice of tax residency can determine whether you pay 15% or 0% tax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>In this article, we will clearly demonstrate:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>how dividends are taxed in Lithuania<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how the Cyprus non-dom regime works<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>who this is relevant for<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how to arrange everything legally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Taxation of Dividends in Lithuania<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>If you are a <strong>Lithuanian tax resident<\/strong>, dividends are typically taxed at:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>15% personal income tax (PIT)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social security contributions do not apply to dividends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not matter whether dividends are paid in Lithuania or abroad (credit for tax paid abroad may apply)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table

recipients.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Cyprus tax resident without special status<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dividends may be subject to a nominal local tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, the main advantage arises with <strong>Non-Dom status<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>What Is Cyprus Non-Dom Status?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Non-Dom (non-domiciled) status<\/strong> applies to individuals who become Cyprus tax residents but are not considered local in the &#8220;domicile&#8221; sense.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Non-Dom provides:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>0% tax on
