Trading from Cyprus

Kourion Theatre, Cyprus

Some of the benefits that Cyprus brings to International Businesses are:

  • Favourable tax regime including 10% corporation tax
  • Simplified administrative procedures for acquiring necessary permits
  • Low set up and operating costs
  • Highly qualified, well-educated and multilingual labour force
  • Double tax treaties with 40 countries
  • Freedom of movement of foreign currency
  • Efficient legal, accounting and banking services
  • European standard of living
  • Member of European Union since May 2004
  • Euro Based currency
  • 0% tax on the profit from the sale of securities and dividend income
  • The tax legislation in Cyprus contributes to it being a prime financial centre, as it maintains one of the lowest and most preferential tax regimes in the European Union.

    All the above characteristics accompanied by other advantages such as Cyprus’ open market economy, heavy investment in education, efficient transit centre, and pleasant work environment, make Cyprus an undeniable and prominent force for international enterprise wishing to maintain a springboard to the region.

    Cyprus is a great place to setup a Hedge Fund. Look at IKOS.

    Trading Platforms on Cyprus

    That is why on Cyprus there are loads of trading plaforms, eg: fxpro.com , finotec.com, windsor brokers. They are all benifiting from the tax breaks here. I also wondered why Cyprus does not have many hedge fund operating on the island. Surely this is the place to do it!
    By the way good website !

    Trading Platforms in Cyprus

    Setting up a trading platforrm is possible with the right software ( trading platform), risk procedures, proper funding, hedging strategy & IT support structure. Cyprus has a great tax advantage for trading. This is something I am looking into at the moment.
