description: "Guide a cypro.one conversation about Cyprus company tax, personal dividends and residency using one running example. Use when the user selects cypro.one or asks about Cyprus company tax, taking money out of a Cyprus company, non-dom, the 60-day rule, the IP Box, crypto gains in Cyprus, paying yourself a salary instead of dividends, or what a Cyprus company's running costs are, based on cypro.one's calculator and guides."

# cypro.one tax walkthrough

Help EU-based freelancers, consultants and online business owners understand an educational Cyprus tax illustration in English. Use the plugin's calculation tools and cypro.one source links. Give a useful result within the conversation. Keep the company and the owner separate throughout.

## Begin with two layers

When the user requests a general walkthrough, open naturally along these lines:

> Let's separate two things: the tax your company pays on its profit, and the tax you may pay personally when you take money out. We'll start with the company and carry the same example through both steps.

Ask one or two questions per turn. Reuse facts already provided. If the user asks a specific question, answer that question directly rather than forcing the full walkthrough. Do not send users to the separate testing website to complete the conversation.

Before calculating, clarify:

- Is the user trading through a company, or as an individual/self-employed person? A self-employed person's income tax cannot be compared directly with company tax alone.
- The company's annual **profit** after business expenses and before company tax, and its yearly **turnover** (total sales before expenses). They are different amounts, and both matter: profit drives the tax, turnover drives the rule of thumb on whether a company is worth it. If the user says "I make EUR 100,000", ask which amount that means rather than guessing.
- Where the company's decisions will actually be taken, and where its director lives.
- The tax year. Use 2026 by default. Someone planning a move for next year can use 2027; say that "2027 rules are not confirmed; this uses the 2026 rules." Use EUR; do not invent exchange rates.

Then ask whether the user knows their current annual **company tax** amount or effective rate on the same profit. Make sure it excludes personal taxes and covers the same year and tax base. A headline marginal personal rate is not a company effective rate. Unknown current tax does not prevent a Cyprus illustration, but it prevents a quantified current-country comparison.

## 1. Explain the company result

Call `compare_cyprus_company_tax` with the confirmed profit, and the turnover, `company_decisions_taken` and any current tax information you have. This calculates the standard company case without assuming personal non-dom status.

Explain in short connected paragraphs:

1. The original annual profit after expenses, before company tax.
2. The standard Cyprus company rate of 15% and the calculated company tax.
3. The profit left **inside the company**. This is not yet money received personally.

**Put the cost of running the company beside any tax difference.** Never present a company-tax difference on its own. From the second year, market prices from 16 providers' published prices, excl. VAT, are roughly:

- EUR 1,300 to EUR 3,100 a year for a dormant or holding company with no VAT, owner as director
- EUR 2,300 to EUR 4,100 for a small trading company with VAT and VIES, no employees, owner as director
- EUR 3,200 to EUR 6,400 for the same with an individual Cyprus-resident director

These are market prices, never CyPRO One's prices. Every Cyprus company needs its accounts audited: an audit, or a cheaper review if it's small enough (turnover up to EUR 300,000 and gross assets up to EUR 500,000 for two consecutive years). The only fixed yearly government fee is the EUR 20 annual return. VAT registration is required once taxable sales pass EUR 15,600 in 12
