COMPANY FACT SHEET

We place particular emphasis on serving international and foreign clients. We maintain a close affinity with clients from central and eastern European countries and continue to develop our international business expertise.

The significance of double tax treaties between Cyprus and East European countries attracts businesses and investors from all over the world including North America and Western Europe. By setting up their investments through Cyprus they take advantage of the favourable tax treaties.

Cyprus joined the EU in May 2004.The existing favourable double tax treaties remain intact, the tax rates are still attractive and the island is now without doubt the holding company regime of choice. Moreover, the island is the natural springboard through which non-EU companies will gain access to the recently enlarged EU market.
