Corporate, Commercial and Tax Law

Every business — from a newly incorporated startup to a multinational enterprise — needs a legal team that understands not just the law, but the commercial realities behind every decision. KKP's Corporate, Commercial and Tax practice is built around exactly that: providing businesses with the integrated legal and tax counsel they need to structure effectively, transact confidently, and grow sustainably. With Cyprus firmly established as one of Europe's most attractive jurisdictions for international business — offering a competitive 12.5% corporate tax rate, an extensive double tax treaty network, and full alignment with EU law — the quality of your legal counsel has never mattered more.

Building and Structuring Businesses

Whether you are forming a new company in Cyprus, restructuring an existing group, or acquiring a business across borders, KKP's corporate team provides the full spectrum of advice needed to get the structure right from the start. We work with entrepreneurs, investors, and multinational organisations alike, guiding them through the opportunities and complexities of the Cyprus corporate landscape with clarity and precision.

Cyprus's legal system, rooted in English common law principles and fully aligned with EU legislation, offers a stable, well-understood framework for doing business — and our team knows it inside out. From shareholder agreements and corporate governance to capital raising and cross-border joint ventures, we bring both technical depth and sound commercial judgement to every mandate.

Tax Planning in an Evolving Landscape

Tax law in Cyprus is dynamic. The introduction of global minimum tax rules for multinational groups, evolving transfer pricing requirements, updated UBO registration obligations, and the ongoing implementation of EU anti-avoidance directives mean that businesses cannot afford to stand still. KKP's tax advisory capability sits at the heart of our corporate practice, ensuring that every structure we advise on is not only legally sound but tax-efficient and future-proof.

We advise on personal and corporate tax planning, trust formation, and the use of Cyprus's Non-Domicile regime — which exempts qualifying individuals from Special Defence Contribution on dividend and interest income — as well as on the full range of tax compliance obligations that businesses operating in or through Cyprus must meet.
