Experience
We have been requested to provide legal and tax advice in relation to UHNWI for the restructuring of their family assets through the application of Cypriot trusts and Cypriot Limited Liability Companies. We have assisted in numerous situations from a Cyprus tax point of view and in connection with other advisors from around the globe to ensure compliance in relation to the individual’s objectives.
We receive instructions to negotiate and, in some cases, eventually appear in court on behalf of clients due to problems between the Inland Revenue Department and the VAT Department and Cyprus companies.
We also represent a very large number of Cyprus investment firms structured through Cyprus also at a holding level and there is a significant upswing in I.P.O. related enquiries.
