Overview of corporate tax work over the last year

Types of corporate tax work

The geographic location of Cyprus and its position as an international finance centre tends to mean that the corporate work undertaken by tax specialists on the island is both complex and varied. It also frequently intersects with personal tax issues since Cyprus is home to many high-net-worth individuals who are significant corporate investors. The COVID-19 pandemic did initially lead to the deferral of several significant corporate deals; however, several of these are now starting to come to fruition and other avenues for tax specialists have been opened earlier than anticipated as the government seeks to kickstart the economy. Specific areas of activity are the following.

Cyprus Corporate Tax Is Now 15%: Who Pays 8 Points Less, And Why Non-Doms Pay More

Cyprus has raised its corporate income tax rate from 12.5% to 15%, but the total tax burden on distributed profits has actually fallen by more than eight percentage points for Cyprus-domiciled shareholders due to a dramatic cut in the Special Contribution for Defence on dividends. However, non-domiciled residents and foreign shareholders now face higher effective rates, fundamentally reshaping the island's tax competitiveness for different investor categories.

You Can Now Be Cyprus Tax Resident In 60 Days Even If Another Country Still Claims You

Cyprus removed a key barrier to its 60-day tax residency rule in January 2026, allowing applicants to qualify even if another country still claims them as tax resident. The change shifts the resolution of competing residency claims from domestic statute to double tax treaty tie-breaker provisions, fundamentally altering how internationally mobile business owners and executives can establish Cyprus tax residency.

From Cybersecurity To Supply Chain Sovereignty In CSA2: The Spotlight On Suppliers

In January 2026, the European Commission unveiled its plan to overhaul the EU's Cybersecurity Act, a proposal now known as CSA2. It's the natural next step in a story that began years earlier with the EU's 2020 "5G Security Toolbox" - a set of voluntary recommendations encouraging Member States to be cautious about certain telecom suppliers. That voluntary approach produced patchy results: by most accounts, fewer than half of EU countries had actually acted on those recommendations. It is worth asking whether the adoption levels were however a failure of design, or a reflection of Member States reaching different conclusions about their risk exposures.

Jurisdiction In Cross-border Litigation: Insights From A Recent Cyprus Court Decision

It is not uncommon for high-value commercial disputes to give rise to jurisdictional issues, particularly where they involve multiple defendants domiciled in different jurisdictions or where one or more parties have entered into agreements containing jurisdiction clauses. The reason is straightforward: if the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, the proceedings may effectively come to an end at the outset. Accordingly, the issue of jurisdiction must be determined by the Court as a preliminary matter and at the earliest stage of proceedings.
