From High-Tax Frustration to Strategic Freedom: How One Performance Marketer Combined Growth Marketing and Cyprus Tax Optimization to Build a Smarter Path to Wealth

PAPHOS, CYPRUS – December 2025.

For most digital entrepreneurs, the story is the same: they work harder each year, scale their revenue, take on more clients… and still watch half their income disappear in taxes.
Belgian performance marketeer Benjamin Samaey lived that life for years, until he decided to question this system entirely.

“I remember looking at my numbers one day and thinking: How am I working 12-hour days, delivering results for everyone, and keeping so little myself?” Benjamin recalls. “That’s when it clicked. I didn’t have a marketing problem. I had a structural problem.”

That moment of realization set off a chain of decisions that would take him from Belgium to Cyprus, reshape his business model, and position him as a rising voice in modern tax-efficient entrepreneurship.

The Turning Point: When Making More Still Didn’t Mean Keeping More

Benjamin had already spent more than a decade mastering digital performance marketing, building websites that convert, ranking businesses on Google, and running lead-generation systems through Google Ads and SEO. His work consistently generated revenue for clients across Belgium, the Netherlands, and beyond.

But every year, he hit the same ceiling:
earn more, give more away.

“At some point, as a solopreneur you realise your biggest expense isn’t your tools, your ads, or even your mistakes. It’s your tax system,” he says. “I was growing, but not advancing. That difference changed everything.”

Instead of accepting it, he went searching for a better model.

That search ended in Cyprus.

Why Cyprus Became the Epicentre of His New Life Strategy

Unlike Belgium or the Netherlands, where taxes can easily take 40% to 56% of total income, Cyprus offers something radically different: a framework built for entrepreneurs, remote workers, online earners, and international business owners.

Benjamin discovered:

• 0% tax on foreign dividends under the Non-Dom regime
• 12.5% corporate tax (As of 2026: 15%)
• 8% Crypto tax for active traders (0% for ‘Hodlers’)
• Favourable rules for global income and distributions
• The 60-day rule, giving flexibility for location-independent professionals
• A simple, efficient and inexpensive company formation process

“It wasn’t about escaping taxes,” he emphasises. “It was about aligning my business with a country that actually supports entrepreneurship and ambitious people”.

Realising that thousands of entrepreneurs in Western countries were facing the same struggle he had, he decided to build something bigger.

Cyprus-Consult: Helping Entrepreneurs Escape the High-Tax Trap

Soon after relocating, Benjamin launched Cyprus-Consult, a platform that guides freelancers, founders, investors, and business owners through the process of:

• Cyprus Ltd company formation
• Becoming a Cyprus tax resident
• Using the Non-Dom programme
• Optimising dividend income
• Handling accounting and compliance
• Relocating smoothly
• Exploring real-estate investment opportunities

The goal wasn’t just to help people move, but to help them transform their financial lives the same way he transformed his own.

The Other Side of the Equation: Building Businesses That Actually Scale

Today, Benjamin operates in a unique intersection: part high-performance marketeer, part tax & relocation optimisation strategist with his partners in Cyprus.

His marketing work stays laser-focused on results:

• SEO that ranks
• Websites that convert
• Google Ads campaigns that generate predictable leads
• Funnels built with simplicity and logic
• Tracking and optimisation that ties every click to revenue

Clients often choose him because he doesn’t sell theories, he builds systems that work.

And when combined with Cyprus’ tax advantages, those systems become exponentially more powerful.

“When entrepreneurs lower their tax pressure, they don’t just save money, they create space. Space to invest, to scale, to hire, to build assets, to breathe. That freedom compounds.”

A New Type of European Entrepreneur Is Emerging

More and more founders are following the same path: simplifying their businesses, relocating strategically, cutting the “tax drag,” and reinvesting into growth.

Cyprus is becoming the centre of that movement, and Benjamin one of the people shaping it.

“Entrepreneurship shouldn’t always feel like swimming against a current,” he says. “When your marketing and your tax structure work together, you finally start moving with the current. That’s when everything massively accelerates.”

A Message to Entrepreneurs Who Feel Stuck

Benjamin sees the same pattern in almost every new client he speaks with:

• They’re skilled
• They’re hardworking
• They generate good revenue
• Yet their financial progress feels slow

He believes the solution is simpler, and more accessible, than most think.

“You don’t need to become a millionaire to change your life,” he says. “You need a better structure and a strategy that respects your effort. Cyprus gave me that, and now I help others get it too.”
