Branches of foreign companies in Cyprus must submit annual financial statements (with certified copies in Greek). Although these companies might be only branches of companies originating from some other country, the transactions these companies do in Cyprus are to be recorded for taxation and other purposes. As a result, it is important that these companies submit their financial statement for the branches which are operating within Cyprus.

A notable one is that foreign companies must submit the financial statements that the companies presented at that corporations most recent annual general meeting. Other documentation that is required are the following:

  1. A written report that includes the name of the overseas company with branch details. Additionally, the head office address and the regular place of business need to be included in this report.
  2. The purpose and objectives of the overseas company are also to be included in the report.

  4. Names of all directors and those with significant control.
  5. The name and address of the person residing in Cyprus who has the authority to accept any documents on behalf of the company.
