As from 2013, all Cyprus registered companies (without consideration of the year of incorporation) are now required to pay the Annual Government Levy of €350. The deadline for the payment is 30th June of each year.

All companies that were exempted from the payment of the Levy for 2012, are now required to pay the amount of €350 by 29 March 2013. If the Levy is paid within two months a penalty of 10% is imposed, increased to 30% if the payment is made within five months. Double Tax Treaty between Cyprus and Spain

On the 14 February 2013, a double tax treaty between Spain and Cyprus was signed. The main provisions of the new treaty are as follows:

1. Withholding tax rates: Dividends at 0% for corporate shareholders, assuming a 10% holding of the capital of the dividend paying company. In all other cases 5% applies. Interest at 0% Royalties at 0% 2. Capital Gains Disposal of immovable property will be taxed where the property is situated Disposal of shares in real estate rich companies (deriving more than 50% of value from immovable property) are taxed in the country in which the property is situated. 3. Removal from tax haven list. On the date on which the treaty will come into force, Cyprus will automatically be removed
