Why founders use a Cyprus holding company.
These are the rules from 2026. Whether they suit your group is a question for a licensed tax adviser, so ask one before you incorporate.
Dividends in, generally exempt
Dividends the holding company receives are generally exempt from corporate income tax. The special defence contribution (SDC) can still apply to dividends from mostly passive, low-taxed companies. Have your adviser check each subsidiary.Nothing withheld for shareholders abroad
Cyprus withholds no tax on dividends paid to shareholders who aren't Cyprus tax resident. What they pay after that depends on the country they live in.What Cyprus residents pay
Residents domiciled in Cyprus pay 5% SDC on dividends from profits made in 2026 or later. Non-doms pay no SDC for up to 17 years, only the 2.65% GeSY health contribution on income up to €180,000 a year.One company at the top
Several shareholders, or several businesses, can sit under one holding company. Later you can sell one business without unpicking the rest of the group.
Run from Cyprus, with the records to show it.
Since 2026 a company incorporated in Cyprus is tax resident here by default. Other countries' tax authorities still ask where it's really run, and the records have to answer.
- Board meetings in Cyprus, where the directors make the decisions
- Its own address, bank account and contracts
- Books and minutes that record all of it
We keep the books. Where the board meets and decides is yours to settle with your adviser.
