Cyprus: Intra-EU Company Transfers
Cyprus has implemented the EU Mobility Directive enabling companies in other EU countries to relocate their registered office to Cyprus without dissolution or liquidation, preserving the company’s legal identity.
Relocating a company to Cyprus will enable it to enjoy the attractive Cyprus tax incentives, including:
the current 2.5% effective tax rate IP Box Regime (expected to be 3% effective from 1 January 2026);
the current up to 80% Notional Interest Deduction on new equity;
the current 5-year loss carry forward (expected to become 7 years from 1 January 2026); and
expected from 1 January 2026, no deemed dividend distribution, and 5% dividend tax for Cyprus-domiciled tax-resident individuals.
The procedure outlines clear legal steps, including Directors’ report to shareholders and employees outlining legal and economic implications, mandatory publication of the Conversion Plan, shareholders’ approval, and application to the Cyprus Court for a pre-conversion certificate.
Consulco’s legal and tax team will be happy to assist you with assessment of Cyprus tax incentives your EU company can enjoy and assist with its relocation to Cyprus, offering turn-key legal, tax, and immigration solutions.
