FAQ
E-Commerce Law Questions
Do I need to be physically in Cyprus to run my business there?
No. Many clients operate their Cyprus-registered businesses entirely remotely. However, maintaining some economic substance (management decisions, banking) in Cyprus is advisable for tax purposes. We advise on the right structure for your specific situation.
Can I use Stripe, PayPal or Wise with a Cyprus company?
Yes. Cyprus is a full EU member state, meaning your Cyprus Ltd can use all major payment processors including Stripe, PayPal, Revolut Business, and Wise without restrictions.
What GDPR obligations does my e-commerce business have?
If you collect data from EU customers, you must comply with GDPR regardless of where your company is based. This includes a compliant Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Data Processing Agreements, and appropriate consent mechanisms. We draft and implement all required GDPR documentation.
Can I combine a Cyprus company with Non-Dom status?
Yes. With Non-Dom tax status, qualifying Cyprus residents pay 0% personal tax on dividends and interest for up to 17 years. Combined with 15% corporate tax and possible NID, effective total tax can be extremely low while remaining fully EU-compliant.
