12.5% corporate tax, no withholding tax on dividends, treaty access to China, India, Singapore, and the UAE. The logic is the same each time — and it works.

No tax on dividends. No tax on interest. For up to 17 years. The Cyprus Non-Domicile regime is a statutory exemption — not a loophole — and it has been in place since 2015.
