The key advantages of Cyprus as an EU Holding location are impressive: a low corporate tax rate of 10%, tax structuring flexibility, dividend participation exemption, no capital gains tax on share dispositions, tax certainty with advance tax rulings, no interest, dividend or royalty withholding tax (under domestic law, regardless of double tax agreements), no CFC rules, good treaty network reducing withholding taxes on dividens, interest and royalties receipts, Member of EU and EU directives should apply to 27 Member States, low exit costs. Potential disadvantages are that Cyprus is not centrally located within the EU, not as tried and tested as other European holding locations, the treaty network for non-EU investments is still expanding, audited accounts must be prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Cyprus can be used as location in group structures without adverse tax consequences when the parent company or subsidiary of the Cyprus company is located in a tax favored and non-treaty jurisdiction and is attractive in terms of low establishment, maintenance and operating costs.
