— Key Advantages
Cyprus imposes no capital gains tax on gains from disposal of securities, including crypto assets held as securities, by Cyprus-resident companies. Trading profits are taxed at 15% CIT.
Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) issues Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) licences under the EU MiCA framework, enabling passporting across all 27 EU member states.
As an EU member state, Cyprus is fully within the MiCA regulatory perimeter. A CySEC CASP licence grants access to the entire EU crypto market under a single regulatory framework.
Founders who establish Cyprus tax residency under the non-dom regime pay 0% Special Defence Contribution on dividends — highly valuable for Web3 founders distributing treasury profits.
Cyprus offers a 60-day tax residency rule: spend 60 days in Cyprus (and not more than 183 in any other country) to qualify for non-dom status and access the SDC exemption.
Cyprus law firms and accountants are experienced in crypto structuring, token issuance, DeFi treasury management, and CASP regulatory compliance.
