The present is an International Business Company - IBC (ex - Offshore Company) registered in Cyprus on 26.10.2006. According to the article of association the company was established in order to get involved with general trade activities. However, this information was not confirmed. Of Course the article makes provision of other activities as well.

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 Hermes S Stylianides & Co, where we talked with a company representative who refused to provide us with any information for the subject due to the confidentiality policy owed to their client. A questionnaire was sent in order to be forwarded to the company in question but there was no response yet.

Please note that the information included in the report was obtained from the Official Companies’ Registrar.

A check against our records revealed that no negative payment incidents against Subject Company, such as unpaid invoices, dishonored cheques and utility bills, bankruptcies exist etc.

The area of the republic of Cyprus under government control has a market economy dominated by the service sector, which accounts for 78% of GDP.
Tourism, financial services and real estate are the most important sectors.
Changing growth rates over the past decade reflect the economy's reliance on tourism.
Due to the global crisis, Cyprus economy entered into recession in the middle of 2009. The budget deficit reached the level of 3.5% of GDP, violating EU's budget deficit criteria of no more than 3% of GDP.

Therefore, in order to prevent country's weakening finances, the government intents to implement measures to cut the cost of the state payroll, tax evasion, and amend social benefits.
