Hold your Shopify, Amazon, or DTC brands under a Cyprus holding company. Dividends received from EU subsidiaries are generally exempt under the participation exemption.
Cyprus is an EU member state, enabling VAT One-Stop-Shop (OSS) registration for B2C digital and physical goods sold across all 27 EU member states from a single return.
Brand royalties, platform fees, and trading profits are taxed at 15% CIT — one of the lowest headline rates in the EU for e-commerce operators.
Cyprus imposes zero withholding tax on dividends paid to non-resident shareholders, making profit repatriation straightforward for international owners.
Cyprus has an extensive DTT network covering the US, UK, China, India, and 60+ other countries, reducing WHT on IP royalties and management fees paid cross-border.
Set up your Cyprus e-commerce holding company fully remotely in 10–15 working days with no requirement to be physically present in Cyprus.
