Today, many high-quality companies in China are choosing to list overseas, such as Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Ctrip, Dangdang, Youku, Jumei…
With the implementation of deleveraging policies in various sectors of the Chinese economy, the demand for equity financing among Chinese enterprises is on the rise, with an overall growth trend in overseas listings (including the Hong Kong market) outside the mainland market. According to statistics from CVSource, approximately 116 Chinese companies completed listings overseas in 2016.
Overseas listing refers to domestic joint-stock companies issuing stocks to foreign investors and publicly listing on foreign stock exchanges. There are two models for Chinese enterprises to list overseas: direct listing and indirect listing, but both methods have many uncertainties.
In fact, it is very difficult for a domestic Chinese company to go public, and obtaining a foreign identity through immigration to achieve overseas listing is the most direct, convenient, safe, and legal way. However, currently, the vast majority of countries worldwide have "immigration monitoring" requirements, which are clearly difficult for busy Chinese entrepreneurs whose companies are about to go public to meet. Cyprus is a country without such immigration monitoring requirements.
Moreover, Cyprus has a favorable business environment. It is a world-class offshore tax haven with the lowest tax rates in Europe; it is also one of the few EU countries with low operating costs and a high standard of living; as a member of the Eurozone, Cyprus opens the door for enterprises to quickly enter multiple markets, including the vast internal market of over 500 million people in the EU, rapidly growing markets in the Middle East, Asia, Russia, and former CIS countries, as well as emerging markets in Africa, providing great development space for enterprises.
Therefore, Cyprus is not only an ideal place for enterprises to list overseas but also one of the best choices for investors to engage in tax planning.
