Substance in Cyprus
Cyprus is an established international business and financial centre because of incentives, good infrastructure and double tax treaties (DTTs) agreements with many countries. Cyprus is EU member, that comply with EU and OECD standards and the same time it has most favourable tax regime and transparent legal system. Such circumstances make Cyprus the most favourable jurisdiction for holding and Intellectual Property companies. Cyprus is also favourable for investment for many countries, connecting Europe to Central and Eastern European countries, and Asia.
‘Substance’ is a widely known tax concept, often used in cross-border tax situations. Although the word ‘substance’ does not normally appear in the text of tax treaties, it is a key theme in international structures and tax planning. Various tax authorities and courts around the world are attacking structures which lack substance.
