Posted by peter in Cyprus Company Formation on May 26, 2009
Registering a company in Cyprus isn’t difficult and the requirements are not overwhelming for anyone even not if it is the first time you ever register a company. The entire registration process only takes a few days to a week and is hassle free the offshore agency which will register the company for you in Cyprus is taking care of all steps and of the Cypriot authorities.
When you consider registering a company in Cyprus you should plan it and you should make it clear for yourself what the company is going to be used for and if it could be of benefit for you to have the company registered as an IBC (International Business Company) in Cyprus. A IBC is subject to no tax but requires the beneficial owner and shareholders o be foreigners and you are not allowed to conduct any business with other Cyprus companies and Cypriots in general.
The IBC has the benefit that you except the tax savings also can be anonymous, which in some case when people conduct business online is a requirement by the client. Others don’t care about the anonymity and just register the company with them self as beneficial owner and shareholder which automatically gives the company to qualify for an IBC registration.
An IBC company gives you the same benefits, asset protection and privacy as an regular Cyprus company formation just with the exception of the tax savings. However, you should never forget about your local laws in your home country which requires you to pay tax on income from this company, best advice is to ask some tax advisory service which will be able to tell you exactly how much tax you have to pa (if any) and which instruments are used to reduce the tax payment to a minimum.
Some of the key benefits having a Cyprus offshore company are the possibilities for assets and equity protection such company gives, also it is difficult for creditors and others to access your funds and assets this would require a local court order which obviously isn’t easy to get.
It is legal to move assets and funds between Cyprus companies without to be liable for any local tax also it is allowed to make loans in Cyprus companies which for new starting entrepreneurs can be of benefit and which aren’t allowed in many of the other European countries at all.
