Cyprus: A Company Formation and 8% on Crypto
By 31 December, all Cypriot companies must confirm their beneficial ownership details in the register, or face a fine of up to €5,000. And for those still choosing a jurisdiction, the 2026 reform offers strong reasons to take a closer look at Cyprus.

🇨🇾 Taxes after the reform
🔵 Corporate income tax — 15% for all companies
🔵 Dividend tax — reduced from 17% to 5%, while dividends remain exempt for non-dom residents
🔵 The deemed dividend distribution rule has been abolished, so profits can be retained in the company

💰 Flat tax on crypto
🔵A flat 8% on gains from the disposal of crypto-assets, for both individuals and companies
🔵 For comparison: in France, it is 30%
🔵 Nuance: crypto losses can only be offset within the same year

🇨🇾 Who it suits
🔵 Holding companies and businesses targeting the EU market
🔵 IT and service companies
🔵 Entrepreneurs who are relocating and counting on the non-dom regime
🔵 Crypto investors and traders
