What we do
A full-service boutique for complex mandates
Our practice is concentrated on mandates where technical depth and partner-level attention create measurable value — not volume.
We work with principals, institutional advisors, and global groups who require specialised expertise — not a generalist accountant.
HNWIs & Principals
Complex personal holding structures, international residency, and substantial portfolios requiring coordinated audit, tax oversight, and complete confidentiality.
Family Offices
Single- and multi-family offices seeking independent audit, consolidated wealth reporting, and the discretion that principal-level relationships demand.
Technology Groups
SaaS, software, AI, and platform businesses with IP-generating subsidiaries seeking Cyprus's IP Box regime with full OECD compliance and defensibility.
iGaming Operators
Licensed gaming, betting, and platform operators requiring statutory audit, IP Box planning, group consolidation, and specialist regulatory expertise.
We guide technology and iGaming businesses through full IP Box implementation — nexus modelling to annual compliance — with complete OECD defensibility.
The Cyprus IP Box allows up to 80% of qualifying intellectual property profits to be exempt from corporate tax, reducing the effective rate to just 3% — the lowest in Europe for a standard EU jurisdiction.
We handle the full implementation: eligibility analysis, nexus fraction calculations, substance and economic reality documentation, transfer pricing coordination, and ongoing annual compliance filings.
Rates indicative; depend on group structure and applicable treaties. Independent advice required. Updated July 2026.
Who benefits most
▸SaaS and software companies with Cyprus IP-holding entities
▸iGaming platforms earning royalties from licensed software
▸Tech groups centralising IP ownership in Cyprus
▸AI and fintech businesses with proprietary algorithms

Lowest EU Corporate Tax
15% CIT — one of the EU's lowest — combined with an IP Box reducing qualifying income to 3%.
15% CIT
Favourable Withholding Tax
Cyprus generally does not impose withholding tax on dividends and interest paid to non-residents, subject to applicable defensive tax measures. Royalty treatment depends on where the rights are used and the recipient jurisdiction. Exceptional for holding structures.

The exact level depends on the activities, assets, risks and tax positions of the entity.
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.
