What is the corporate tax rate in Cyprus?

The standard corporate tax rate is 12.5%. We advise you on how it applies to your business and make sure your filings meet all local requirements.

Who needs to pay mid-year tax payments and when are the deadlines?

Individuals and companies with untaxed income or profits must pay provisional tax in two instalments: 31 July and 31 December. The final settlement is due on 1 August of the following year.

How do I stay compliant and avoid penalties?

File your provisional return by 31 July, and revise it by 31 December if your income changes. Ensure your payments cover at least 75% of the final tax liability—otherwise a 10% penalty plus interest will apply. All payments must be made electronically and on time.

What payroll obligations exist for employers in Cyprus?

Employers must register staff, process monthly salaries, deduct social insurance, and make timely contributions. We take care of payroll so your business stays compliant.

Do foreign-owned companies in Cyprus need to register for tax?

Yes, all Cyprus-incorporated companies are tax residents and must register with the Tax Department. We handle the registration and ongoing compliance on your behalf.

Can I benefit from Cyprus’ double tax treaties?

Yes, Cyprus has over 65 double tax treaties in place. These can reduce withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties, creating efficient structures for international business.

Are there tax benefits for dividend distribution in Cyprus?

Yes, dividends paid by a Cyprus company to non-resident shareholders are generally exempt from withholding tax, making profit repatriation efficient.

Is Cyprus attractive for holding companies?

Absolutely. Many investors use Cyprus as a holding jurisdiction thanks to its low tax rate, exemption on dividends received, and no capital gains tax on share disposals.
