Accounting for tech companies & startups in Cyprus
Cyprus is one of the EU's best bases for a software business: the IP Box brings the effective tax on qualifying software profit to ~3%, there's an R&D super-deduction, the NID on new equity, and an 8% rate on qualifying employee share schemes. We set up the structure, document the IP Box defensibly, and keep your financials investor-ready.
