Cyprus BTW – De tarieven en registratie

If your company is not established in Cyprus and is providing ‘taxable supplies’ of goods or services in Cyprus, it might have to attain a non-resident VAT registration. This follows the EU VAT Directive, foreign traders are legally obliged to register for VAT in certain situations, in order to report taxable transactions and declare the VAT that needs be charged.

It is imperative that all businesses with any commercial actions in Cyprus evaluate their compliance responsibilities and register before beginning any taxable transactions, if applicable.

There are numerous circumstances in Cyprus that can generate the responsibility to register for VAT. Below are some of the most common cases:

• Goods being imported into Cyprus from outside the EU;
• Goods being bought or sold in Cyprus;
• Selling goods from Cyprus that are delivered to customers out with Cyprus (this applies to business or private customers);
• Obtaining goods in Cyprus from another country within the EU (Intra-community acquisitions);
• Inventory of stock in Cyprus for sale, circulation or delivery;
• eCommerce sales of goods to customers, subject to Distance Selling VAT registration thresholds;
• Arranging events in Cyprus, if attendees or delegates pay admission.
