Offshore Trusts Report: Cyprus
Supervision, Licensing and Tax
Trust services in Cyprus are provided through International
Trustee Services Companies.
Until 2003, the Central Bank of Cyprus was the authority
responsible for the licensing and regulation of international business
enterprises (i.e. companies which are beneficially owned exclusively
by non-residents) involved in the provision of trustee services
to the public at large, known as International Trustee Services
Companies or ITCs.
Following the enactment of the Financial Services
Firms Law in July 2002 (Law No. 148(I)/2002),(as subsequently amended
in January 2003), as from 16th January 2003, the responsibility
for the licensing and supervision of international business enterprises
which offer financial services in or from within Cyprus to the public
at large was transferred to the Cyprus Capital Market Commission.
