Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about incorporating a company in Cyprus.
A Cyprus company can be fully incorporated and registered in 5–10 business days. This includes name approval by the Registrar of Companies, filing the Memorandum & Articles of Association, and obtaining the Certificate of Incorporation. Tax registration (TIC) typically takes an additional 1–2 weeks.
Cyprus has a corporate tax rate of 15%, one of the lowest in the European Union. Additionally, there is no tax on dividends received from subsidiaries, no capital gains tax on the disposal of securities, and an IP Box regime offering an effective rate as low as 3% on qualifying intellectual property income.
No, you do not need to be a Cyprus resident to incorporate a company. Foreign nationals from any country can fully own and operate a Cyprus company. However, for the company to benefit from the Cyprus tax regime, it must have its management and control (effective management) in Cyprus.
You will need: certified copies of passports for all directors and shareholders, proof of residential address (utility bill or bank statement), a brief description of the company's intended business activities, and the proposed company name (we recommend 2–3 alternatives). Our team will guide you through the exact requirements during your consultation.
Some Cyprus banks allow remote account opening with proper documentation and due diligence, while others may require a brief in-person visit. Our team has established relationships with major Cyprus banks and can guide you to the option that best fits your situation, including banks with fully digital onboarding.
Cyprus companies must maintain proper accounting records, file annual returns with the Registrar, prepare audited financial statements, and submit corporate tax returns.
