About Offshore Cyprus
Cyprus is situated in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. This island is an important international financial center due to its excellent infrastructure, strategic geographic location, highly skilled workforce, favorable business environment and a wide network of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements.
English is used in business negotiations, the government and the courts. The Government of Cyprus has been an internationally recognized government and it has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Euro was introduced here on January 1, 2008.
Laws are based on the British legal system. The essential law on commercial companies is the Companies Law, which is designed according the equivalent law in the United Kingdom. In connection with the accession of Cyprus to the European Union and the OECD in 2003, new tax legislation was adopted and with it Cyprus became one of the most progressive jurisdictions offering one of the lowest tax rates in the European
Union and creating favorable conditions for tax optimization of international transactions.
