Can anyone tell me the comparison between Cyprus and other jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands and Malta?

[Goodboy13]

I’m an amateur so that’s why I’m asking this question, pls don’t take me as a dumb person I just wanna know the difference between the jurisdictions of Cyprus and Cayman Islands (and maybe Malta too?) in terms of privacy and tax advantages. I did some basic research and found a link that cleared a few things up, but I want more real clarification from people who’ve actually used these setups

bro first off — no dumb questions here, only unlaundered money

Cyprus is the eurozone’s chill zone, not too flashy, low tax (12.5%), and they pretend to be transparent but still let you hide if you grease it right

Caymans? no tax at all, but good fkn luck opening a bank account that doesn’t scream narco vibes

so Cyprus = EU with lowkey moves, Cayman = full-on ghost mode?

basically

Cayman’s like: “who are you?”

you: “I’m a unicorn founder with zero product”

them: “approved ”

Got it, makes sense.

if you’re going for privacy, Cayman wins

no public UBO registry, no financial reporting unless you beg for regulation

Cyprus? you gotta play the “nominee game” or your name’s out there

Malta? lol don’t even, they snitch now. used to be spicy, now it’s a compliance nightmare

yo Malta went from “offshore king” to “please upload your DNA and two selfies to log in”

fr I had a Malta company in 2016 — smooth as butter

now? they asked me what high school I went to during onboarding

noped out immediately

 

[Goodboy13]

lmao I swear Malta’s onboarding process feels like a visa interview

Cyprus just nods and stamps your papers

Cayman doesn’t even ask for a real name if your lawyer’s got a tie

also, if you care about banking, Cyprus wins
Eurozone banks, better KYC, easier to look “normal"

Cayman banks will treat you like a walking red flag unless you roll in with a million and a white-collar criminal aura

yeah but Cayman with a BVI parent company + crypto profits = chef’s kiss
no one knows where the money really came from
just that it’s there

 

[Steven Cohen]

also important: compliance heat

Cayman gets spotlight from regulators every few months

Cyprus? flying under the radar like it’s playing Hitman

Malta’s just screaming “we’re clean now!” while tripping over old shell corps

to summarize in non-tax-dude speak:
Cayman = max privacy, no tax, max sketch
Cyprus = low tax, medium privacy, EU approved
Malta = former legend, now a bureaucratic therapy session

that’s the kinda summary I needed bro

appreciate all of you — off to register “Orion Capital Structuring Ltd” in Cyprus and maybe slap a Cayman holding above it just for flair
