Cyprus tax — common questions
What is the Cyprus corporate tax rate?
The standard Cyprus corporate income tax rate is 12.5% on net profits. This applies to all income of Cyprus-resident companies from worldwide sources. It is one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU.
What is the notional interest deduction?
The notional interest deduction (NID) allows Cyprus companies to deduct a notional interest expense on new equity (share capital and share premium) introduced after 1 January 2015. The deduction rate is the 10-year government bond yield of the country where the funds are invested plus 3%. This can significantly reduce taxable profit.
Does Cyprus tax foreign-source income?
Cyprus-resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income. However, dividend income received from foreign subsidiaries is generally exempt (participation exemption), and capital gains on shares are exempt. This makes Cyprus excellent for holding structures.
How does the Israel-Cyprus tax treaty work?
The Israel-Cyprus double tax treaty reduces Israeli withholding tax on dividends from 25% to 5% (for ≥25% shareholding) or 15%, and reduces withholding on royalties to 0%. This makes Cyprus a natural holding jurisdiction for Israeli tech companies.
