Banking industry and possible changies? Cyprus !

It’s really interesting to observe how the world keeps changing in many ways. In our corporation & banking sector the changes have been tremendous! One of our bank we work with, they send us an alert about some changes in Cyprus banking industry. Be aware that this might be an opinion of competition however the changes are there!

Hi Tomas,

I wanted to give you a quick update on what are seeing out of the major Cyprus banks.  Despite news updates to the contrary, wires of up to $50,000 per day are leaving the country.  If you still have clients in Cyprus who are looking to exit, this would be an excellent time to inform them of this window of opportunity as we don’t believe many investors are aware of this fact.  If you have no clients or exposure there there, hopefully this email was still informative.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions about this information.
Best Regards,
for company formation please contact us!

Your startup registering company in Hong Kong

What is the dormant status?

A dormant company is one that does not carry on business and has no income for the whole of the preceding year.

Benefit of Dormant status?
It allows an inactive company (company incorporated in Hong Kong) to be retained at a minimum maintenance cost since a dormant company under Section 344A of the Ordinance is Exempt from complying with the following requirements as laid down in the Company Ordinance.

When is a company deemed to be a dormant company?

If a company passed a special resolution (pdf Format) declaring the company would become dormant, the company will be deemed to be dormant as from:
(i) the date of delivery of the special resolution to the Registrar of Companies

You can download Specimens of the special resolutions in here.

Where a company becomes dormant, it will not be necessary for the company to comply with these annual obligations. A company is still required to submit an annual return for the year in which it declares itself to be dormant.
