Why Cyprus?

Cyprus is a dynamic business hub in the heart of the Mediterranean, strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. As a full member of the European Union since 2004 and the Eurozone since 2008, it combines access to international markets with one of the most attractive tax systems in Europe. The corporate tax rate stands at just 12.5%, among the lowest in the EU, supported by an extensive network of nearly 60 Double Tax Treaties that help eliminate double taxation.

This favourable environment has encouraged many international companies to establish their headquarters in Cyprus, benefiting not only from the tax advantages but also from the island’s strong legal framework, robust banking sector, and wide range of professional services that safeguard business and personal wealth.

​

• Strategic geographic location at the intersection of major regions

Beyond business, Cyprus offers an excellent lifestyle. With over 320 days of sunshine each year, low crime rates, political stability and a modern legal system, the island provides a safe and welcoming environment. High-quality healthcare and education, a diverse culinary scene, and beautiful Mediterranean beaches all contribute to making Cyprus an attractive place to both live and work.
