Company formation in Cyprus

The procedure, step by step

  1. Name approval with the Registrar of Companies
  2. Preparation of the Memorandum & Articles of Association
  3. KYC on directors, shareholders and beneficial owners
  4. Filing of the incorporation forms (HE series)
  5. Registration for tax (TIC), VAT and social insurance where needed
  6. Setting up the registered office and statutory registers

What to watch out for

  • Choosing the wrong structure for your tax and liability position
  • Beneficial-ownership and AML obligations that continue after incorporation
  • Missing annual return and levy deadlines, which trigger penalties
  • Assuming a company alone gives tax residency — substance matters

Why professional guidance matters

The forms are routine; the structure is not. The right share, director and substance setup at the start avoids expensive restructuring later. A partner advocate gives you that judgement.

From our office — what has changed

Over the last ten years

The register moved fully online, beneficial-ownership disclosure became mandatory, and AML checks tightened considerably — incorporation is faster but compliance is heavier.

In the last two years

Corporate income tax rose from 12.5% to 15% from 1 January 2026, and documents filed at the Registrar no longer require stamp duty as of the same date. Confirm the current treatment for your case with the partner.
