THE RAOC GAZETTE ADVERTISEMENTS TEN COMPELLING REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RETIRING TO CYPRUS 1. YOUR INDEX LINKED RETIRED PAY is geared to the.rise in the cost of living in the United Kingdom which is consistently higher than that of Cyprus—i.e. you can improve your standard of living year by year. a a * a 2. A DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT means that you pay NO tax in the U.K. on money remitted to Cyprus. a * a 3. BECAUSE YOUR RETIRED PAY IS PAID IN EXTERNAL you only on a scale of from 0%—6%—after allowances—thus only about £50 a year. Income from your investments is treated on the tax saving. a a a CURRENCY the Cyprus Government charges on an income of £5,000 a year the income tax is in a similar way. You can almost live in Cyprus a a 4. THERE IS NO ESTATE DUTY for foreigners domiciled in Cyprus on property which they have purchased with currency external to Cyprus. a a a a 5. THE BASIC COST OF LIVING IS CHEAPER. Although petrol is slightly more expensive, butter, cheese and pork for example are all about 40p a lb. (88p a kilo). Fruit and vegetables in season are practically given away and two of you can dine out for £5 including a bottle of wine. ^ # « « 6. TALKING OF WINE. A great variety of wines of good quality are available at about 40p a bottle and bulk wine (very drinkable) is available at the equivalent of 17p a bottle. a a * a . 7. COMMUNICATIONS BY AIR, SEA AND TELEPHONE to the United : Kingdom and elsewhere are very efficient « i> « n 8. There are miles and miles of unspoilt beaches and the Cyprus Tourist Board practically guarantees that the sun shines for 340 days a year. Cyprus has long warm dry Summers and cool Winters when it is easily possible to ski in the picturesque Troodos mountains and one hour later to swim in the Mediterranean. » ^ # « 9. THE FRIENDLIEST NATIVES in the world whose hospitality is instinctive. Most of them speak English and they drive on your side of the road. Mugging and vandalism are unknown in Cyprus and theft is rare. a a a a 10. JOHN THEODOROU (ESTATES) LTD., IS BUILDING FOR YOU.
