Why More Businesses Are Choosing Cyprus—Even with a Corporate Tax Rise on the Horizon
Between January and mid-March 2025, Cyprus registered a 20% increase in foreign company formations compared to the same period in 2024—jumping from 77 to 93 new international businesses. This signals growing investor confidence in Cyprus, particularly in sectors like technology, consulting, fund management, and real estate.
What’s surprising? This uptick comes despite a planned increase in corporate tax from 12.5% to 15%, scheduled for implementation in early 2026 to align with the global minimum tax framework. But rather than discourage foreign interest, the move is being viewed as a positive credibility step, further aligning Cyprus with international best practices.
