Why Form a Cyprus Company

Businesswise, there are very many things going right for Cyprus, and this is why it is such a popular destination for corporate entities seeking overseas presence. The country not only boasts of the lowest tax rates(12.5%) in the European Union trading block but also it has one of the lowest VAT(19%) in the region.

There are no withholding tax on dividends and the fact that the country has a network of double taxation treaties also making it an appealing destination to entities that don’t want to surrender a huge chunk of their earnings to taxes.

Additionally, special EU directives and EU VAT registration is available in Cyprus, and it is also one of the few countries where businesses are at liberty to experience true freedom in the sense that they can operate the way they want, provided that they remain within the confines of the law.
