Strategic tax planning and meticulous compliance for Cyprus entities and international groups — minimising legitimate exposure while maintaining full regulatory compliance across every jurisdiction.
Cyprus's tax framework is one of Europe's most attractive — but extracting maximum legitimate benefit requires precise structuring, meticulous documentation, and deep knowledge of both domestic law and the international treaties Cyprus has concluded. We deliver all three.
Our approach is to understand the commercial reality of your business first, then engineer a tax-efficient structure around it — not to reverse-engineer a structure that might unravel under scrutiny. Every planning position we take is defensible on audit.
Preparation and submission of IR4 corporate tax returns, provisional tax calculations, tax computations, and liaising with the Cyprus Tax Department on assessments and queries.
TP documentation for intra-group transactions, benchmarking studies, and Advance Pricing Agreements. Full compliance with OECD guidelines and Cyprus TP regulations effective 2022.
Identification of reportable cross-border arrangements, preparation of DAC6 disclosures, and filing with the Cyprus Tax Department. We review existing structures for retroactive disclosure obligations.
Treaty-based structuring, withholding tax optimisation, holding company analysis, and thin capitalisation advice for groups operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Personal income tax returns for Cyprus-resident HNWIs, non-domicile planning, Special Defence Contribution and GHS/GeSy considerations and personal tax residency advice for relocating individuals.
Representation before the Cyprus Tax Department in the event of assessments, objections, or penalty disputes. We protect your position robustly and professionally.
