AKEL Calls for Thorough Study Before Repatriation Incentives

AKEL stated that it does not object to providing tax incentives for the repatriation of Cypriots working abroad, but insists that proposals must be well-studied, fair, and balanced. The party believes that the new proposal for enhanced incentives is being presented without sufficient analysis of the existing legal framework, assessment of the social impact, and consideration of data from tax reform. AKEL calls on the government to reconsider the issue, including policies to support Cypriot scientists working in Cyprus, as well as fairer regulations for all workers.
