Finance

 

 

Please note that no detailed Financial Information became available to us; neither it was released by the subject at present. Furthermore, no Published Final Accounts were filled in the company's file kept with the local official companies' registry, as the law provides for all companies. Please also note that maximum credit was calculated from the subject's issued capital.

Financial accounts are available at the Department of Registrar of Companies, provided that the company has submitted the compulsory accounts.

The annual general meeting of a company is convened within eighteen months of the date of its registration. Forty two days later the company should file its first annual return with the Registrar of Companies. Once a year, the annual return must be submitted. This should be done within fifteen months from the previous annual return, without disregarding the calendar year (sections 118, 120 and 125 cap. 113).

All Cypriot Companies, whether local or international, must maintain accurate books of accounts, which should reflect the true and correct position of their conduct, as well as give adequate explanation of their operations.

The Cypriot Company Law, which is closely modeled on its English counterpart, entails that company accounts must comprise of the following:

- Directors' report.

- Auditor's report.

- Financial statements as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and consolidated Financial Statements in case of parent companies (unless specifically exempted).

Audited financial statements and an Income Tax Return are required for all companies, even companies with no taxable income and/or dormant companies.

Registered Branches (in Cyprus) of foreign companies are not legally bound to compile full separate branch accounts however when taxed on the island, are obliged to do so for income tax purposes.

Additionally they have to submit accounts of the main company, translated into Greek, to the Department of Registrar of Companies.

Partnerships are exempt from any requirement to prepare audited accounts, but they are legally bound to keep proper books of account which must be available for scrutiny by individual partners.

Capital: Nicosia

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.
