Legislation was passed in 2025 amending the corporate tax rate to 15% from the 1 Januray 2026, aligning Cyprus with international standards including the OECD 15% global minimum tax.

In 2004 Cyprus became a full member of the European Union and therefore all Cyprus Companies now enjoy the reputation and privileges attached to any European Company. The Cyprus Tax Reform 2026 strengthens Cyprus’ position as a credible, competitive and modern EU jurisdiction.

Cyprus continues to sit at the competitive end of corporate taxation within the European landscape, particularly when one considers the wider system architecture: dividend mechanics for post-2026 profits are materially improved; major structuring pillars (NID and IP Box) remain in place; and stamp duty is removed, improving transaction efficiency.

Cyprus has approximately 50 double tax treaties and therefore the Cyprus holding company can be used for efficient international tax planning.

In addition, the legislation provides (in most cases) that dividend income from abroad to Cyprus is wholly exempt from corporation tax provided the direct holding is at least one per cent (1%) of the share capital of the overseas company. There is no withholding tax on the payment of dividends, interest and royalties from Cyprus to non-residents of Cyprus.

Through its various treaties and legislation Cyprus aims to promote itself as a jurisdiction with a positive tax regime rather than a tax haven.
