Cyprus IP Box Regime

One of Europe's most
competitive IP rates

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.

3%
Effective tax rate on qualifying IP income
  • OECD BEPS-compliant nexus approach — durable, audit-defensible structuring
  • Applies to patents, copyrighted software and other qualifying IP. Marketing-related IP, including trademarks and brands, does not generally qualify
  • Royalty withholding-tax treatment depends on where the rights are used and the recipient jurisdiction
  • Access to Cyprus's 65+ double tax treaty network
  • Full substance, board activity and economic reality documentation
  • Coordination with group audit and transfer pricing requirements

Common questions

Frequently asked
questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from new clients, advisors, and international groups exploring Cyprus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
