I understand you're living in Cyprus as a non-dom, which is great. Regardless, I believe you can establish a Cyprus company. Here's the idea: you create or develop a proprietary algorithm for your trading methods, register it as software, and capitalize it as intellectual property (IP) with tangible proof of its value.
The company then uses this IP to trade, and all revenue generated through it is taxed at just 2.5% in Cyprus. Instead of distributing dividends, you can retain the earnings within the company after paying corporate tax. Alternatively, you could set up a holding company on top, for example, in the UK, where dividends would be distributed tax-free to that entity and then to you personally in a tax-efficient way as a non-dom. However, keep in mind that this could trigger management and control considerations, potentially requiring additional economic substance, which might increase costs depending on your income level.
