In this episode, we explore why Cyprus has become one of the most attractive jurisdictions for establishing international trusts, particularly for high-net-worth individuals and families seeking to manage wealth efficiently and securely.
We’ll break down the Cyprus International Trusts (CIT) Law, highlight the tax advantages, and explain how Cyprus balances asset protection, tax neutrality, and international compliance — making it a compelling choice compared to other trust jurisdictions.
⚖️ Background: The Cyprus International Trust (CIT)
The Cyprus International Trusts Law provides a robust legal framework for both EU and non-EU individuals to create and manage trusts in a secure, tax-efficient, and globally recognized environment.
A Cyprus International Trust can be used for:
- Wealth management and succession planning
- Asset protection from political or creditor risk
- Investment holding structures
- Philanthropic or family governance purposes
To qualify as a CIT, the settlor and beneficiaries must be non-residents of Cyprus in the year the trust is created.
