Company Formation & Administration Form

The beneficial corporate tax rate of 12.5% in Cyprus, together with other favourable tax provisions and incentives, have established Cyprus as one of the most favoured holding company jurisdictions in Europe. The combination of this favourable tax regime with its wide network of Double Taxation Treaties have contributed to making Cyprus a sought-after location for investment by the worldwide business community. There is no imposition of tax on the disposal of securities, foreign dividends, profits from foreign branches, disposal of foreign real estate, and withholding tax on outgoing dividends, royalties or interest paid to non-residents or residents non-domiciled. 

Additionally, we have specialist knowledge of the following commercial issues:

  • Protection of intellectual property
  • Acquisition of Cyprus Investment Firm License
  • Commercial international trading contracts
  • Shareholders & Franchise Agreements
  • Agency and Distributorship Agreements
  • License Agreements

Mergers & Acquisitions

We regularly deal with mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and management buy-outs, expertly advising the increasing number of companies - driven by tax law changes – which wish to strengthen their position by a revision of their corporate structure.

Whatever the size or type of business, ensuring that company acquisition or disposal is correctly handled is essential. This complex area is subject to frequent changes in the law, and whether this is a first transaction or part of a portfolio of commercial enterprises, expert advice is needed on the essential legal aspects.

Drawing on professional advice and knowledge reduces the risk of transaction failure, ensures that necessary due diligence is performed and confirms that the correct documentation is in place, thus avoiding future unexpected liabilities and guaranteeing swift and successful approval of the venture by the Courts
