Get Consultation NowRegister a Company in Cyprus – EU Credibility, 12.5% Tax
If you want to register a company in Cyprus, you are choosing one of the most business-friendly jurisdictions in the European Union: a Cyprus Limited is incorporated in 5–10 working days, pays 12.5% corporate tax, and distributes dividends to non-dom shareholders free of Cypriot withholding tax. We handle the entire process for you — incorporation, business bank account, accounting and a registered office address — in English or German.
Who should set up a company in Cyprus?
Typical clients are online entrepreneurs, consultants, agencies and holding structures. A Cyprus holding company generally receives participation income tax-free, and the IP-box regime reduces the effective tax on qualifying licence income to as little as 2.5%. What matters is genuine substance on the island — a letterbox is not enough. Our guide on the new tax benefits for setting up a company in Cyprus explains which structures work in 2026.
Taxes: 12.5% — and often considerably less
Beyond the low corporate rate, shareholders who relocate to Cyprus benefit from non-dom status: 17 years without tax on dividends and interest. Combined with more than 60 double taxation treaties, the overall burden usually undercuts UK or German structures by a wide margin. For the full picture, see our overview of taxes in Cyprus 2026.
Formation and relocation from one partner
Many of our clients move to the island together with their business. As a full-service partner based in Cyprus, we combine company registration with support for your relocation to Cyprus — from the Yellow Slip and the step-by-step formation process to finding the right property.
