What’s so great about Cyprus besides its climate?
If you have any doubts about why coming to Cyprus other than to enjoy the sunshine and its great people, let us give you some financial reasons as well! Together with Ireland and Switzerland, Cyprus enjoys relative transparency in its tax structures, suffers lower levels of taxation, and has the highest percentage of local citizens happy with the level of tax legislation.
For companies seeking a European base for international business transactions, Cyprus could just be the ideal offshore tax haven for incorporation. For a start the nation is in the EU, the country has managed to maintain a low level of corporation and even personal income tax as well as dividend and royalty tax despite gaining EU entry in 200 and from the 1 January 2008 Cyprus has adopted the Euro as its official currency which makes European based trading simpler for companies.
So far no directly targeted recommendations have been made to Cyprus, but the nation does tread a fine line between offering international retirees an incredibly favourable taxation regime in which to live and work and complying with international legislation designed to prevent serious crime.
