If you are relocating to Cyprus, these are the main issues to consider prior to your stay!
-
City, which one
-
Schools for children, if any
-
You need a car for your transport
-
Company, sole trader or employee? *** This is where we focus on!
Company, Sole Trader or Employee?
Although we can go into a great extent for all of them, this article focuses on the last part which is deciding whether to trade as a physical person or as a company. The answer to this choice is made easier by the introduction of the 35% personal taxation on salaried income exceeding the first Euro 60,000 taxable income. Coupled with the legal protection a company offers, individuals who are going to set up a business in Cyprus are more likely to do so via the setup of a Cyprus company.
You can not trade or do business if you are an employee other than of your own company. In addition to the non dom there are several tax benefits for overseas employees which could reduce their taxes up to 50% if employed by a Cyprus company.
Advantages of Cyprus Company
-
Legal protection
-
Corporation tax at 12.5 % only
-
You can be an employee of your company taking advantage of serious payroll tax deductions
-
No dividend tax 
if the overseas shareholders register for non dom, which is a special tax status mainly for non Cypriots.
-
Neat and tidy accounting records as the year end results must be audited by a local accountant and Company filings need to take place.
Disadvantages (if we can call them as such)
Conclusion
It takes no mathematical brains to determining that setting up a company is a winner as not only it protects you against the local laws and regulations (employment law, tax law, vat law etc) but also if you are non-domiciled individual, you will only be paying 12.5% corporation tax vs Cyprus salary tax which is scaled and reaches 35% for salaries exceeding Euro 60,000.

Our Why
Being accountants, auditors and tax consultants ourselves, we have been spending too much time in meetings with prospect clients, going through their records to realise they were not fit to our clientele profile and visa versa. We wanted to find a way to reduce the initial calling time, introduction time, e-mail receipt of information / documentation and subsequent meeting for the pricing. There had to be a better way. And we have found it!!!
FinHub does all of the above.
