Salary and allowance structure for Cypriot officials

Recent data from the Treasury and General Accounting Office details the remuneration of the Speaker of the House, Members of Parliament, and religious representatives in Cyprus. The Speaker of Parliament receives a gross monthly salary of €8,715, which increases to €11,456 with allowances, resulting in a net monthly income of approximately €7,461. Ordinary MPs and religious representatives earn a gross monthly salary of €7,911, which translates to a net monthly payment of approximately €5,466 after a 3% pension contribution and taxation. On an annual basis, excluding allowances, the base gross salary is €56,310, rising to a total gross of €99,612 when considering the 13-month calculation and specific allowances. These allowances include a representation allowance of €20,503, a cost-of-living adjustment of €5,804, a secretarial allowance of €12,302, and a travel allowance of €7,791. After all annual deductions and income tax, the net annual salary for MPs and religious representatives is €68,684. Constitutional rules dictate that salary payments for outgoing members cease upon the swearing-in of the new legislature, following the recent parliamentary elections. The topic has resurfaced in public discourse during the transition period.
