A reputable international financial centre like Cyprus should be preferred to a
jurisdiction that is a tax haven with zero tax and zero regulation because
transactions made by companies registered in such jurisdictions would be ignored by the native tax authorities for tax purposes. Furthermore, tax havens carry with them the suspicion of money laundering.
Cyprus is one of the cheapest among corporate service locations of high repute nowadays, and has attracted thousands International business companies from all over the world.
Cyprus a member country of the European Union since 2004 has wisely managed to differentiate from “tax havens” and establish itself internationally as one of the most important “low tax jurisdictions”. It has therefore managed to escape the suspicions and control of the tax authorities of other countries. The only tax for an international business entity ranges between 0 – 12,50% only.
The combination of low tax with the existence of an impressive and ever expanding network of Double Taxation Treaties (DTT) has proven to be a tremendous tool for international tax planning. With regard to any form of investment towards Eastern European countries, Cyprus has unquestionably positioned itself as the world’s primary “business hub”.
The international business entity can be established in any of three forms. A limited liability company, a general or limited partnership and an international branch of foreign corporation.

Cyprus’s position in the global business community has been well publicized, yet another attribute which makes the Mediterranean island so popular. It is, quite simply, the lifestyle. The standard of living enjoyed by company directors and their families is winning plenty of admiration. From the distinct lack of serious crime to the quality of educational resources, the friendliness of the people and their own professional abilities, foreign observers agree there are important attributes that should not be ignored. Considering the case in which, most of the company’s staff will be traveling a lot, nothing makes a person work better than knowing that the family he leaves behind is happy, safe and having fun. The geographical position of Cyprus is an added incentive, enabling company representatives to travel with ease throughout the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
