Tsada/Olympus Village

Can anyone comment on the pros/cons of living in Tsada/Olympus Village, as opposed to Tala? Being more elevated than Tala, it will be colder during the winter. But it also seems quieter and less developed, which are positives. Also wondering how the new Paphos/Polis Road will affect the noise level ...

Re: Roller blinds

A retailer of roller blinds might be able to recommend a cleaning service. Euroblinds might know. Roller blinds in rentals are sometimes thick with dust.

Re: Cypriot personal tax system

If only life was that simple.. If you are going to be getting a UK goverment pension (say as an ex teacher or police) you might want to get some advice as to how you will be taxed in the future in the UK even if you are resident only in Cyprus.. Yes, ex-government employees are in a different posit...

Re: Cypriot personal tax system

If you are tax resident here, your pension can be taxed at only 5%. If there is a double taxation agreement between Cyprus and Germany, then Germany should not tax you, as long as Germany agrees you are not tax resident there. That is how it works with the UK. Thanks to souniman for the earlier rep...

Cypriot personal tax system

Other countries ask you to report your taxable income annually. However, in Cyprus, dividends/interest income must be reported immediately on receipt and GESY tax paid, otherwise you are charged a penalty if you wait till the tax return is officially due. That at least is my understanding. My questi...

A big thank you to those who recommended Marios’s Photo Studio on ToTK Road for printing photos. He did a great job for us.

Property sale by owner?

Does anyone know a website where property owners can post details and photos of their property for sale? As opposed to going through an estate agent?

Re: Bio ethanol fuel

We have a bioethanol fire and love it. We bought it from Volcano in Nicosia, who also supplied the fuel at the same time. They deliver fuel on demand to customers island-wide. We’ve not had to request more fuel and so don’t know the delivery charge, but from other experiences it seems that delivery ...

Re: Forget gas.. Energy storage is the answer

Am I right if I assume that PV- systems will only be stopped from feeding into the EAC grid, but not from being used e.g. for heating your pool or charging your battery? I think that’s right. But as I understand it, curtailment will mean you can’t accumulate credits for electricity you generate but...

Re: Forget gas.. Energy storage is the answer

This is rather depressing. I have seen no plans to upgrade the grid. When will they start curtailing solar generated by households? And will we know if they do?
