Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about forming a Cyprus company
Cyprus is a full EU member with one of Europe's lowest corporate tax rates (a flat 15% from January 2026), a legal system based on English common law, and a treaty network covering 65+ countries. It's a credible, tax-efficient base for trading, holding and IP companies.
Yes. A foreigner can own 100% of a Cyprus limited company. There's no requirement to be an EU citizen to own one. For the company to be genuinely tax-resident in Cyprus, though, its management and control should sit in Cyprus, which is why local directorship is often recommended.
Every package includes an express incorporation service to register your company as quickly as the Registrar allows, once your documents and identity checks are complete. You receive certified Memorandum & Articles of Association plus your first certificates: incorporation, registered address, directors and secretary, and shareholders and share capital.
Every Cyprus company needs a registered office address and a resident secretary, both included in your first year. A Cyprus-resident director isn't legally mandatory, but it's strongly recommended if you want to prove the company is managed and controlled in Cyprus for tax purposes. Our partner provides corporate or individual directors.
We're upfront about costs. The formation package covers the core setup; some items are genuinely optional (nominee shareholders, a Cyprus director, VAT registration, apostille) and are quoted clearly. Every active Cyprus company also needs annual audited accounts by an independent auditor, which is a separate yearly cost.
From year two, you maintain the registered office and secretary, file an annual return with the Registrar, hold an AGM, file the UBO register declaration, and, for all active companies, prepare audited financial statements and a tax return. We bundle the administrative side and coordinate the audit.
Yes. EU citizens can combine the company with non-dom status, giving up to 17 years of exemption on dividends, interest and capital gains. It requires meeting residency conditions (the 183-day or 60-day rule) and a Cyprus lease, which our non-dom package supports end to end.
A trading company actively sells goods or services and usually needs VAT registration. A holding company passively owns shares or assets and benefits from Cyprus's participation exemption on dividends. Both use the same Ltd structure, we'll help you pick based on your plans.
