In focus: the Cyprus IP Box

One of Europe's most competitive IP rates

Up to 80% of qualifying IP profit can be exempt from corporate tax, bringing the effective rate to 3%, subject to the nexus conditions and the company's facts. We handle implementation end to end, from eligibility and nexus modelling to annual compliance.

  • OECD BEPS-compliant nexus approach, built to be audit-defensible
  • Patents, copyrighted software and other qualifying IP; trademarks and brands generally do not qualify
  • Substance, board activity and economic-reality documentation
  • Coordinated with group audit and transfer pricing

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you handle confidential and complex client matters?

All sensitive enquiries are handled directly by senior management and treated in strict confidence from the first contact. We can put an NDA in place before any detailed information is shared, limit access internally, and agree a clear communication protocol for private clients, family offices, international groups and sensitive corporate matters.

Do you support international groups and private wealth structures?

Yes. We advise Cyprus and cross-border structures involving holding companies, operating companies, family office arrangements, shareholder reporting, audit coordination, tax compliance, valuations, governance documentation and ongoing corporate administration. We regularly coordinate with overseas lawyers, tax advisors, banks and fiduciary providers.

How are your fees structured?

We provide clear written proposals with agreed scope, deliverables, timetable and fee basis before any engagement begins. For recurring audit, tax, payroll or corporate administration work, we can agree annual retainers so clients have cost predictability and no unexpected scope creep.

What is required for a Cyprus company to have genuine substance?

Substance normally includes real decision-making in Cyprus, appropriate local directors or management involvement, proper board minutes and records, locally maintained accounting files, and personnel or outsourced support proportionate to the company's functions. The exact level depends on the activities, assets, risks and tax positions of the entity.

What is the Cyprus IP Box regime and who qualifies?

The Cyprus IP Box can provide a reduced effective tax rate for qualifying intellectual property income where the relevant nexus, ownership, R&D, documentation and substance requirements are satisfied. It may be relevant for software, technology and other qualifying IP structures, but eligibility must always be reviewed on the specific facts.

Do you work with clients across different industries?

Yes. We support privately owned businesses, owner-managed groups, investment holding structures, family offices, regulated entities and international corporate groups across multiple sectors. Where specialist sector knowledge is required, we combine audit, tax and corporate advisory experience with the appropriate legal, regulatory or technical input.

Do you work with clients outside Cyprus?

Yes. Many of our clients are based outside Cyprus and use Cyprus companies or structures as part of a wider international arrangement. We work remotely by email and video call, use electronic documentation where possible, and coordinate with the client's existing advisors in other jurisdictions.
