What are the Tax Issues associated with a Cyprus Company?

[richardm1964]

Every Government wants to collect Taxes from listed companies to boost their revenues in a simplified manner. On the other hand the companies tries to save taxes as much as possible through Tax Planning, Treaties and convocations. They also try to derive benefits from the loopholes in the entire tax system and structures. So what are the Tax Issues generally associated with a Cyprus Company?

Practically there are no such tax issues in Cyprus according to my knowledge. The only notable points in Cyprus Tax systems are defense levy taxes and high rate of Capital gain Tax(20%). But all the gains made from investment business are fully exempted from Capital Gain Tax. The defense levy Tax ranges from 3% to 15%, only applicable for interest & dividend incomes(both from Cyprus and Overseas).The rate of personal income tax starts from 20% up to a maximum of 30% .
