How can I find out more about the rules on duty free cars? I'm semi-resident in Cyprus, but work and pay tax in the UK. Do I still qualify? My wife may well be working in Cyprus; does this affect my duty free status? How does duty free work with second hand cars?

Any advice appreciated

Hi

If either of you work, neither you, nor your spouse, are entitled to a Duty Free car.

Right you are - thanks for the info.

Hi!
According to Cyprus International Business Association (CIBA), the following groups of people have the right for a duty free car:

- Permanent residents of Cyprus of catedory F (non-working pensioners);
- Foreign diplomats staying in Cyprus;
- Repatriated Cypriots;
- Personnel of British Bases;
- Some members of Parliament and House of Representatives;
- Leaders of religious groups of Parliament
- And non-Cypriots employees of international companies (if they and their employer meet the necessary requirements)
