TechIsland - a non-profit IT Association, was established in 2021 with the mission of turning Cyprus into a hub for technology and innovation
Cyprus is a member of the EU and the Eurozone, featuring one of the world's most skilled and educated workforces, rendering it attractive to potential employers. It is a global hub located at the crossroads of three continents, with English being widely spoken. Cyprus has a modern, transparent, efficient pro-business legal framework based on English common law. Overall, setting up and operating a company on the island is very easy.
The country offers a 12.5% corporate tax rate with a double tax treaty network with over 60 countries, a 50% tax exemption for new employees, tax deductions for investments into innovative companies, and dividend income generally exempt from tax. Moreover, payments to non-Cyprus or non-domiciled Cyprus tax residents are usually not taxed, and profits from trading in qualifying “titles” (e.g. shares, bonds, debentures) are also exempt.
The government strongly supports the tech industry and international entrepreneurs, with an ongoing strategy set in 2021. The country is introducing reforms and initiatives to grow the ecosystem and even grants free access to the labour market to spouses who have
a residence and work permit and receive a minimum gross monthly salary of €2500.
Cyprus is a safe, sunny, compact cosmopolitan island boasting historical cities, beautiful beaches and forests, delicious Mediterranean cuisine, and a high standard of living among a vibrant international community.
