GENERAL COMMENTS

 

The present is an International Business Company - IBC (ex - Offshore Company) registered in Cyprus on 06.05.2004 According to our informants, the company was established in order to get involved with the trade of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

IBC companies, being covered by the law of confidentiality, may use nominee shareholders that hold the shares in trust for beneficial owners. Until recently beneficial owners were made known only to the Central Bank of the Republic of Cyprus that used to grant the permission for the company’s registration in Cyprus. After Cyprus accession in the EU this practice changed. Beneficial owners of an IBC are now known to the Lawyers and / or Auditors that undertake the registration of such companies in Cyprus.

In the past IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches) used to be benefited from a corporation tax rate on their profits of 4.25%. However, according to new tax legislation which has been in effect as of 1st January 2003, there is no longer a distinction between local companies and International Business Companies (IBC’s) and thus, the net profits of all companies registered in Cyprus are taxed at the rate of 10%.

Further more, in the past the law required the IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches), beneficial owners to be non-Cypriot residents and the business activities to be carried out, outside Cyprus only. Currently, this law has changed. IBC entities may have activities worldwide, including Cyprus. However, in order for an IBC entity to have activities locally, their Memorandum and Articles of Association should provide for that. Most of the IBC entities that were registered before the change of the law have already proceeded with the amendments in their Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We contacted the company’s correspondence and talked to Ms Phani Schiza who confirmed that the subject is an International Business Company operating 100% international in the field of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. As it was stated by Ms Phani Schiza the subject plans to operate in Cyprus as well. However, further information could not be provided. A written questionnaire was also send in order to forward it to the company in question for us. There was no reply up to now. In case further information becomes available, we will update this report as soon as possible.
