Inward redomiciliation implies that a foreign-based company can relocate its business to Cyprus without liquidating the existing one. Once the process is successfully completed, the company becomes an entity incorporated in Cyprus and it must abide by Cypriot law, tax, as well as obligations.
Branch registration implies that a foreign-based company registers its branch in Cyprus and there is no need to incorporate the local business. The branch must abide by the Cypriot laws and pay taxes in Cyprus. In Cyprus, a branch is not regarded as a separate legal entity, although it belongs to the ‘parent’ company.
