One of the advantages of a new firm in Cyprus is the great nature - Aphrodite's rock and beach in Cyprus, called Petra tou Romiou. Einer der Vorzüge eines neuen Unternehmens in Zypern ist auch die wunderschöne Natur – Aphrodites Felsen und Strand in Zypern, bekannt als Petra tou Romiou.

What are the Advantages of a new Company in Cyprus?

When doing business in Cyprus, one may encounter a highly competitive business environment. Establishing a firm in Cyprus not only offers a highly competitive, tax-efficient, and EU-compliant environment, but also opens the door to a nice Mediterranean lifestyle in proximity to major European Capitals, but also the Middle East and beyond.
So, it’s no surprise that Cyprus is a popular choice for international holding companies, all kinds of trading businesses, financial services, and last but not least, the betting industry. English is widely spoken, which guarantees a good starting point.

Cyprus Residency – A perfect Spot to combine Mediterranean living and successful Business

A long-term stay in a country for more than 183 days will usually, and automatically, lead to unlimited tax liability on your worldwide income. Some countries go even further and already assign this tax liability if you can permanently use your apartment (this can even be the room in your parents’ house or a regularly visited hotel), which you can access with your keys – known as “Schlüsselgewalt” in German-speaking countries. This rule establishes or maintains an unlimited Tax liability for your worldwide income. If this subject interests you, you may find out more on our dedicated Taxation website.
The often-cited and widely used “183-Days-Rule” is not entirely correct. It can only be used to a limited extent, as few countries (Germany) impose personal tax liability if one spends more than 183 days in the country in two consecutive years, spanning two tax periods. If you do not plan to bind yourself for 6 months each year to anyone country, Cyprus is a good spot. In such cases, we recommend a firm in Cyprus as a stay of only 60 days per calendar year is enough to establish a tax residency.
Cyprus offers ideal conditions for a permanent residence. With close links to other European countries, a strong business environment, low taxes, good flight connections, and travel times of roughly 4-5 hours to the center of Europe, this is an ideal place to conduct business of any kind.
However, it is important to mention that a stay in any other (EU-) country for more than 183 days would trigger unlimited tax liability there. This concept is, therefore, ideal for everyone who can live and work flexibly (e.g., digital nomads).
Not sure what to do and overwhelmed by a flood of information? You can rely on well-founded and legally sound advice if you come to us. We are experts in corporate structuring, corporate finance, and taxation, and will always consider your personal circumstances. We will explain you the advantages of a new company in Cyprus.

Ideal Tax Framework for Holding Companies

There are undeniable advantages of a new company in Cyprus. Before the Republic of Cyprus joined the European Union, the former “offshore” regulations were abolished. Thus, the Cypriot legislation fulfills all relevant EU standards, EU regulations, OECD- standards, the FATF, and the FSF.

Cypriot companies are recognized throughout the European Union as EU companies with an extensive Tax Treaty Network. This circumstance is used mainly by holding companies. Cyprus nowadays has one of the most favorable Tax Regimes and competes within the EU with Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg at a split of the cost or with the UK as a NON-EU Jurisdiction.
