Law firms lull you to sleep with double taxation treaties and complex 'SE' directives. We make it practical: a Cyprus holding company is the most powerful, legal vault in Europe to protect your accumulated wealth and let it grow tax-free.
Whether you are a successful e-commerce entrepreneur or a serious crypto investor, the benefits are unparalleled. Thanks to the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive, your dividends flow tax-free (0%) from your operating company to your Cyprus holding company, after which you distribute them to yourself at 0% via your private Non-Dom status.
No capital gains tax on shares, no tax on crypto. We take care of the complete setup, including bank account and compliance, starting from just €1,650.

Want to understand how powerful a holding company in Cyprus is? Use the simulator below.
Enter the amount of dividend you wish to distribute from your current operating company (in Belgium or the Netherlands) to your private account. See immediately how much tax you are throwing away in a standard setup, and how the cash flow via a Cyprus holding company ensures that 100% of your money stays in your pocket.
Gross Dividend: € 100.000
Tax (30%): - € 30.000
Care contribution / Other: € 0
Net in Private: € 70.000
Gross Dividend: € 100.000
Tax (0% Non-Domain): € 0
GeSY Contribution (Max €4,770): - € 2.650
Net in Private: € 97.350
For most Western entrepreneurs, this is the most frequently asked question: what do I do with the profits in my current operating company?
If you transfer that money directly to your private account, the tax authorities will strike immediately, with substantial interest tax in the Netherlands (26.9%) or withholding tax in, for example, Belgium (30%).
The solution: you place a Cyprus holding company above your current Belgian or Dutch operating company.
Thanks to the European Parent-Subsidiary Directive, profits may be shifted tax-free between affiliated European companies.
This is the route:
The result: from a €100,000 profit, you are left with €97,350 in your private capacity. Without a holding company: €70,000.

Why does smart money choose Cyprus instead of Malta, Ireland, or Dubai?
Because the Cyprus holding company advantages offer the perfect balance between a reliable EU reputation and aggressive tax exemptions.
Dividends received by your Cyprus holding company from subsidiaries are fully exempt from Cypriot corporate income tax. This applies to both EU subsidiaries (via the Parent-Subsidiary Directive) and non-EU entities (via the DTT network of 65+ treaties), provided the subsidiary does not generate more than 50% investment income.
This is crucial for investors and traders.
If your holding company buys and sells shares in other companies, or actively trades in cryptocurrency, the realized profit is fully exempt from tax. Your portfolio grows without any tax brakes. The only exception: real estate located in Cyprus falls outside this exemption.
Cyprus operates a legal system based on English Common Law, which is trusted, stable, and internationally recognized. By placing your assets in a Cypriot entity, you shield them from operational risks in your home country, while operating entirely within the EU.
The Benefits
A holding company is only valuable when it is operational.
The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is setting up a cheap online 'mailbox company,' only to discover that no bank accepts them as customers anymore due to a lack of local substance (physical presence).
We prevent this nightmare. At Cyprus-Consult, you receive a complete, operational Cyprus holding company formation:
Rates: We offer a complete, high-quality setup starting from €1,650. No hidden costs, no unexpected bills.

A holding company is a company that does not manufacture products or provide services itself, but is established solely to own and manage shares, valuable assets (such as real estate or patents), and profits of other companies (the operating companies).
It acts as a financial vault: by safely transferring profits from the operating company to the holding company, you shield this capital against operational and business risks such as bankruptcy.
Moreover, a holding structure, especially in combination with a jurisdiction like Cyprus, offers enormous tax advantages, as dividends can often be received and reinvested tax-free.
A Cyprus holding company is a regular Cypriot private limited company (Limited Liability Company) whose primary purpose is to own and manage shares, assets, or intellectual property of other (subsidiary) companies. It is used as a secure, tax-optimized vault to centralize profits.
The biggest advantages of a holding company in Cyprus are the tax exemptions.
The holding company pays 0% tax on incoming dividends from subsidiaries, 0% tax on profits from the sale of shares and crypto (Capital Gains Tax), and 0% withholding tax on outgoing dividends to shareholders.
A successful Cyprus holding company formation requires more than just filling out an online form. You must register the entity with the Department of Registrar of Companies, draft a Memorandum and Articles of Association, and, very importantly, demonstrate local 'substance' (such as an office address and management) to pass the strict bank compliance checks for your business account. Cyprus-Consult handles this complete A-to-Z process starting from €1,650.
