Defence contribution and the 2018 convention
The UK–Cyprus convention was signed in Nicosia on 22 March 2018 and entered into force on 18 July 2018. A protocol signed on 19 December 2018 entered into force on 2 October 2019. GOV.UK records effect in Cyprus from 1 January 2019.

Article 2 lists the Cyprus taxes covered: income tax, corporate income tax, the special contribution for the defence of the Republic, and capital gains tax. The Tax Department assesses Cyprus tax. The UK certificate does not submit a Cyprus return, and it does not pay the defence contribution.
A resident’s Cypriot identity card (δελτίο ταυτότητας) goes with the passport. Address proof should be a recent Electricity Authority of Cyprus bill, or another bill that shows the name and a Cyprus address. The Department of Registrar of Companies in Nicosia is a separate register from Companies House.
We copy the passport spelling. Follow-up can be in English and in Greek.
What you get
We are an ACSP. We prepare form IN01 and file it at Companies House, with the identity check the register requires.

Packages start at £450. The Companies House fee is £100 and is charged separately. Identity verification is £30 for each person who must verify. Formation packages include a London registered office. The certificate and company number usually arrive within 24–48 UK working hours after the file is complete and paid.
From the Founder package we can help prepare a WorldFirst application after the certificate. WorldFirst decides the account. We do not open a bank account and we do not get Stripe to accept the company.
