Corporate income tax rate
The corporate tax in Cyprus is imposed on companies that qualify as tax residents, meaning they are taxed on their global income. Companies that are not tax residents in Cyprus are taxed only on income generated from business operations through a permanent establishment in the country. The general corporate income tax rate stands at 12.5%. There are particular exemptions within the tax system, and further taxes like Special Defence Contribution (SDC) are applicable to passive income sources such as interest and rental income. Additionally, shipping companies benefit from special regulations under the tonnage tax system, offering considerable tax advantages to eligible firms.
