- Since the Accession of Cyprus in the EU in May 2004, Cyprus amended its tax legislation in order to comply with EU regulatory authorities. On the 1st of January 2003, the amended tax legislation was enforced. There is no longer a distinction between local and international business companies. For tax purposes, all companies are treated the same and the tax rate of 10% is applicable on their net profit.
