Our work spans the international technology, financial services, and investment sectors. The specific legal issues differ by industry — but the standard of advice does not.
Technology companies are among the most frequent users of Cyprus structures. The Cyprus IP Box, with its effective tax rate below 3% on qualifying IP income, is particularly advantageous for technology businesses generating licensing or royalty revenue from patents, copyrighted software, or other qualifying IP assets.
AI businesses typically generate income from models, training data, and proprietary algorithms — assets that can qualify for Cyprus IP Box treatment. As AI regulation develops across the EU AI Act, Cyprus provides an EU-compliant base for AI companies requiring regulatory certainty alongside tax efficiency.
The global gaming industry generates significant IP income — from game titles, engines, and in-game assets — that is well-suited to Cyprus IP Box structuring. Cyprus is already home to a number of international gaming companies attracted by the combination of IP Box treatment, EU regulatory framework, and operational infrastructure.
Cyprus is the jurisdiction of choice for many fintech companies seeking EU regulatory access. A Cyprus Payment Institution or Electronic Money Institution licence, obtained through CySEC, provides full EU passporting rights. Combined with Cyprus's competitive tax regime, this makes Cyprus a compelling base for fintech businesses.
As MiCA implementation proceeds across the EU, Cyprus is positioning itself as one of the leading jurisdictions for crypto asset service providers and issuers. CySEC has been proactive in developing the regulatory framework, and a Cyprus MiCA authorisation will carry full EU passporting rights.
Software-as-a-Service businesses present a natural fit with Cyprus structures. Subscription revenue generated from software licensed globally can qualify for Cyprus IP Box treatment at the software level, while the corporate structure provides an efficient framework for managing global operations and international reinvestment.
Family offices and private wealth structures benefit from Cyprus's combination of holding company efficiency, zero capital gains tax on securities, treaty protections, and — for individual principals — the Non-Dom regime. Cyprus is increasingly used as the hub for multi-jurisdictional family office structures.
Cyprus is widely used by private equity and venture capital funds as a holding jurisdiction for European and Middle Eastern investments. The combination of zero capital gains tax on share disposals, full dividend exemption, treaty protections, and EU regulatory access makes Cyprus a natural choice for fund structures targeting European assets.
Healthcare and pharmaceutical companies holding patents, clinical data licences, or branded IP assets can benefit significantly from Cyprus IP Box treatment on the income generated from those assets. Cyprus's treaty network also supports efficient cash repatriation from operating subsidiaries across multiple jurisdictions.
International accounting firms, law firms, and consultancies with a need for Cyprus-licensed entities — whether for regulatory, structural, or operational reasons — work with us on establishing and maintaining Cyprus operations within their global networks.
