It also offers full EU recognition, access to international banking.
The statutory rate is 15%, while foreign income remains tax-free as long as it has no Cyprus source. Cyprus offers fast incorporation under a legal system based on English common law, which also meets EU transparency, AML, and substance standards.
Banking is possible through local or EU accounts with clear documentation. Additionally, Cyprus has more than 60 double taxation treaties which, together with integration into EU directives, create clear legal frameworks.
With political stability, experienced service providers and an attractive Non-Dom regime for incoming individuals, Cyprus remains one of the most flexible and reliable EU locations.
