Cyprus (EU) as an alternative jurisdiction after the BREXIT: In light of the recent BREXIT Polls and results as UK votes to leave the European Union, Cyprus companies are an excellent alternative to the traditional UK LLPs.

Cyprus is considered to be one of the most attractive jurisdictions in Europe to form a limited liability company due to its advantageous tax system. As a full member of the EU as of the 1st of May 2004, Cyprus can offer you one of the lowest tax regime in Europe of just 12.5%.

Moreover, Cyprus holding companies enjoy all the benefits that the low tax jurisdiction has to offer such as full exemption from tax on dividend income, no withholding tax for dividends paid to non-residents, no capital gains tax Cyprus' tax system is in full compliance with EU requirements and also with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) requirements against harmful tax practices.

   Cyprus Permanent Residence
The Cyprus Permanent Residence Permit has been in existence for a number of years, and the requirements, as well as the process, have been amended to become simple. The Cyprus government has introduced recently a new procedure for granting the permit to applicants, who are third-country nationals and intend to invest in Cyprus.

To be able to qualify you would need to make a purchase real estate (1 or two properties) of total market value of at least €300.000 plus VAT. Also, the annual income required should be at least €30.000 (with additional requirements for family), and must derive from abroad. Finally, the applicant needs to deposit a minimum capital of €30.000 for a fixed period of three years in a Cyprus bank.  

In addition, the Cyprus Government recently announced that in addition to the spouse and underage children of applicants, children over 25 and the parents of the applicants now have the right to automatically apply to obtain a permanent residence permit in Cyprus, provided certain conditions are met.
