A multitude of tax and non-tax factors are taken into consideration for a jurisdiction to be regarded as an
attractive location in which to set up a holding company taking always into account the particular circumstances of the investor. The underlying factor though remains the same – to minimise the tax charged on income and gains.

By virtue of its exceptionally advantageous tax system.Cyprus provides one of the most beneficial and versatile
‘Holding Company Regimes’ currently available in the world. A Cypriot Holding Company serves as a perfect gateway to the EU and the world, receiving dividends, suffering little or no withholding tax and paying dividends to shareholders without deduction of withholding tax.

Furthermore it offers one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU at 12.5% and as a EU Member state ensures
compliance with EU requirements and is committed to the OECD’s policies when it comes to protecting investors against harmful taxation. Benefitting from an extensive network of Double Tax Avoidance Agreements and the EU Parent Subsidiary directive, it is truly great for business.

For those international structures who wish to reduce the tax that they have to pay for their income and gains, it would be very useful to consider a Cyprus holding company.
