Taxation, EU & Regulatory Law

Tax and regulation shape every significant business decision. We advise on Cyprus and EU tax, competition and regulatory matters as an integrated practice, so that structuring, compliance and transactions are considered together rather than in isolation.

Taxation

  • Corporate tax planning and structuring under the post-2026 framework, including the 15% corporate income tax and the revised Special Defence Contribution regime
  • International structuring, double tax treaty and EU directive planning
  • The non-domicile regime, relocation incentives and private client taxation
  • Tax aspects of transactions, reorganisations and financings
  • Rulings, audits and dealings with the Tax Department

EU & Competition

  • Merger control notifications before the Commission for the Protection of Competition
  • Antitrust compliance, investigations and distribution or vertical restraint issues
  • State aid and general EU law advice

Foreign Direct Investment Screening

We advise investors and target companies on Cyprus's foreign direct investment screening regime under Law 194(I)/2025, aligned with Regulation (EU) 2019/452, including assessing whether a transaction is notifiable, preparing notifications to the competent authority and managing the review process alongside deal timetables.

Regulatory Compliance

  • Anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance
  • Licensing and regulatory perimeter advice for regulated entities and administrative service providers
  • Regulatory transitions and dealings with supervisory authorities

Regulatory advice is delivered in step with the firm's corporate and transactional practices, under the supervision of a partner on every matter.
