If you already have a holding and trading company that you would like to make sure that you pay less tax, you should seek advice on setting up a holding company in Cyprus.
If you are only in the planning phase of starting a business, then read through the advantages of a Cyprus company in peace.
The Republic of Cyprus has been a member of the EU since May 2004.
Since then, Cyprus has become one of the most interesting locations for international business.
More and more smart entrepreneurs are starting a company in Cyprus. No wonder, since Cyprus offers considerable tax advantages in addition to relatively low living costs and many benefits for international companies.
This island is strategically located in the eastern Mediterranean, at the crossroads of three continents – economically important points can be reached quickly by plane. The climate is pleasant, the winters are mild and the summer temperatures last for a very long time.
For business owners, both the excellent infrastructure and the banking system with few restrictions for foreign currencies are of interest.
Cyprus’s International Business Companies benefit from almost unbeatable financial benefits.
Like other countries, Cyprus cannot be described as a typical tax haven. It also makes no sense to set up a letterbox company in Cyprus. Invoices from such Cypriot companies are often questioned and sometimes not accepted.
As a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth and the Council of Europe, Cyprus offers an interesting tax system and double taxation treaties and therefore relevant tax benefits.
In summary, Cyprus has an excellent location and a remarkable status. The low taxes (maximum 12.5%) on profits are a decisive advantage of an International Business Company in Cyprus.
The double taxation agreements and the professional services provided by banks meanwhile benefit a great many entrepreneurs, why not you too?
Cyprus has concluded many tax treaties which ensure that double taxation is avoided. If a company is internationally active and has its registered office in Cyprus, it pays a maximum of 12.5% tax.
Ask us for the current list of countries with which Cyprus has a double taxation agreement, without obligation!
It would now have to be clarified how a holding company operates in Cyprus.
There are two possibilities:
Outside Cyprus as a permanent establishment/branch. In this case, the law of the country in which the company is domiciled, i. e. Cyprus, shall apply.
Outside Cyprus as a representative office/branch office (independent). In this case, there is no taxation outside Cyprus.
This means that the benefits will only come into effect when you have an established company directly in Cyprus.
The management activities have to take place in Cyprus, the solution with a “local director” is highly recommended.
The local director, whom zypern-firma. com can place for you, is the contact person for the local authorities. He submits the annual report. The director is responsible for ensuring that everything in the company complies with the regulations. It also carries out the tasks specified by the Executive Board. At this point, we would like to point out that the Director acts exclusively in accordance with the instructions of the beneficial owner and carries out the agreed tasks with care. In most cases, only the owners have access to the bank accounts.

zypern-firma. com™ offers ready-made companies for all those clients where “every minute counts” or time is simply money.
The term “shelf company” refers to all those companies (associations) that are for sale and have been established in stock in order to be available in those cases where it has to be particularly fast. With a shelf company, you are ready to go very quickly!
Ready-made companies are independent of the founding country and also of their legal form, but they are already registered in the relevant company register and have not yet carried out any active business transactions. Thus all doors are still open to you. Of course, you can change the company’s name, purpose and even its registered office at any time after purchasing the company.
Of course, the registered shelf company already has an equally registered director or a legal entity.
As a precautionary measure, when founding a shelf company, we use a purpose that allows our clients to work in a wide variety of industries. Therefore, it is not always necessary to change the company’s purpose.
In English, shelf companies are known as “Shelf Companies” or “Ready Made Companies”.
We offer these companies in various jurisdictions (including Cypriot Limited) – so you can enjoy the advantage of trading with the acquired company in the shortest possible time. Expect about 24-48 hours for the takeover of the company. Afterwards you are immediately able to act with your new company and can also conclude legally binding contracts.
If you would like further information on company foundations, ready-made companies or other procedures, please call us.
Our service offices are at your disposal:
The Republic of Cyprus has been a member of the EU (European Union) since 2004, a full member since 2007 and the euro has also been the currency in Cyprus since 2008.
Within the European Union, Cyprus is therefore the country with the lowest tax rates. In the meantime, Cyprus has become an interesting financial centre for international participants.
No wonder that more and more entrepreneurs (already more than 100,000 companies, there will be more and more) are interested in founding a company in Cyprus. Often branches or subsidiaries are established on the island. Especially for holding companies, Cyprus is now at least as much in the running as Luxembourg, England or the Netherlands.
Since Cyprus has been a full member of the European Union, the limited and holding companies from this republic have enjoyed full acceptance. Profits that have been achieved economically, as well as interest gains, royalty or real estate rental profits are taxed at only 10%. Dividends, interest and equity gains are even tax-free.
And this in a republic in which economic growth is developing very positively and the legal situation is stable. The assets of Limited and Holdings in Cyprus are protected by European Union standards.
The liability of a Cyprus Limited is limited to the share capital and is therefore very small.
Banking secrecy is a powerful argument in favour of setting up a company in Cyprus, and in this republic it is actually banking secrecy as we imagine it to be. Discretion is written in capital letters and data protection is subject to very strict laws.
When founding a company in Cyprus, we work closely with tax advisors and lawyers and offer the complete package at a fair fixed price.
Whether you’re starting a new business or a ready-made company in Cyprus, the Cyprus-firma. com team will get you to your destination quickly and reliably
