Regulatory Compliance – FAQ
How has the 2026 Tax Reform changed compliance for international firms?
The most significant change is the Abolition of Deemed Dividend Distribution, allowing companies to retain profits indefinitely without artificial tax exposure. However, the increase to a 15% Corporate Tax means firms must now utilize incentives like the Notional Interest Deduction (NID) to stay competitive.
What is the MiCA deadline for CASPs in Cyprus?
Existing CASPs must apply for their MiCA License by February 27, 2026, to ensure they can continue providing services under the new EU-wide passporting regime starting July 2026.
Why is 'Substance' the most important keyword in 2026?
Regulators now demand a “Place of Effective Management.” This includes having a local board of directors, physical office space, and Internal Audit functions that prove your business is genuinely operated from Cyprus.
