Understanding corporate tax in Cyprus
The Cyprus tax system
Our team of experts will guide you through the tax structure and regulations in Cyprus. We explain the different types of taxes that apply to businesses operating in Cyprus, including corporate income tax, value-added tax (VAT), and other relevant taxes. Understanding the fundamentals of the Cyprus tax system is crucial for ensuring compliance and maximizing tax efficiency.
Key benefits of Cyprus tax system
Cyprus offers a range of attractive benefits for businesses, making it a sought-after destination for international companies. We highlight the advantages of the Cyprus tax system, including:
Low corporate tax rates
Cyprus offers one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the European Union, with a flat rate of 12.5%. This competitive tax rate provides significant cost savings for businesses, allowing them to allocate more resources towards growth and investment.
Double tax treaties
Cyprus has an extensive network of double tax treaties with more than 65 countries, including major economies such as the United States, Candata, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, and China. These treaties provide protection against double taxation, ensuring that businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions are not taxed twice on the same income. The double tax treaties also offer opportunities for tax planning and optimization, allowing businesses to structure their operations in a tax-efficient manner.
For example, if a Cyprus company has operations in the United Kingdom, the double tax treaty between the two countries will determine how the company's income is taxed, preventing double taxation and providing clarity on the applicable tax rules.

Exemptions and incentives
Cyprus provides various exemptions and incentives to businesses, further enhancing its appeal as a business-friendly jurisdiction. Some specific examples include:
Dividend Exemption
Dividends received by a Cyprus company from its subsidiaries are exempt from corporate income tax in Cyprus, subject to certain conditions. This exemption encourages the use of Cyprus as a holding company jurisdiction, allowing for efficient dividend repatriation.
Intellectual Property (IP) Regime
Cyprus offers a favorable tax treatment for income derived from qualifying IP assets. Income generated from qualifying IP assets can benefit from an 80% exemption, resulting in an effective tax rate as low as 2.5%. This regime promotes the development, exploitation, and management of IP assets in Cyprus.
Capital Gains Exemption
Profits from the sale of securities, such as shares, bonds, and other financial instruments, are generally exempt from capital gains tax in Cyprus. This exemption creates opportunities for businesses engaged in trading securities or those involved in investment activities.
