Why Cyprus
A small island,
a serious jurisdiction.
For more than two decades, Cyprus has been one of Europe's most attractive bases for international business — and continues to refine its offering year after year.
Corporate tax rate — the lowest in the EU
Tax on most dividends received
Double tax treaties in force
Member state since 2004
The advantages
Built for capital, structured for compliance.
Cyprus's combination of low headline rates, a sophisticated treaty network and full EU access is no accident — it is the product of two decades of careful, OECD-aligned policy. Below, the headline reasons international clients choose Cyprus.
0% tax on dividends received
Dividends received by Cypriot tax-resident companies are exempt from tax, subject to limited exceptions. The extensive treaty network protects cross-border distributions.
0% tax on profit from securities
Gains from the disposal of titles — including shares, bonds and units in collective investment schemes — are exempt from Cypriot tax.
EU & common-law foundations
Cyprus combines the legal certainty of a common-law jurisdiction with full EU member-state status, giving structures both flexibility and access to the single market.
Non-domicile regime
Qualifying individuals enjoy a 17-year exemption from tax on worldwide dividend and interest income — among the most attractive personal tax regimes in Europe.
Holding & finance vehicle
Cyprus companies are widely used as holding, finance and royalty vehicles, with no withholding tax on outbound dividends, interest or royalties paid to non-residents.
Skilled, English-speaking workforce
A deep pool of internationally educated lawyers, accountants and bankers — with English as the language of business and most legislation.
