Recent legislative changes that affect how companies in Cyprus are taxed, filed for, and reported on.
Parliament passed the largest overhaul of Cyprus tax law in over twenty years on 22 December 2025. The headline change is the corporate tax rate moving from 12.5% to 15%, aligning Cyprus with the OECD's global minimum tax standard. Alongside it, tax owed on dividends dropped from 17% to 5% for domiciled residents and stays at zero for non-domiciled ones, the tax-free personal income threshold rose to €22,000, stamp duty was abolished, and gains on crypto-assets are now taxed at a flat 8%. We're reviewing client structures against the new rules through the first half of 2026.
After three written warnings, the Commissioner can now suspend a business and seal its premises for up to ten days over repeated non-compliance, missing or incorrect invoices, or obstruction of an audit. Shares can be frozen where tax debts exceed €100,000, and asset statements can be requested going back six years. Keeping invoicing and filings current matters more than ever.
Late submissions to the beneficial ownership register now carry a €100 fine for the first day and €50 for each day after, up to €5,000 per entity, with directors and CEOs personally exposed. We handle filing and verification for clients as part of ongoing maintenance.
The Tax Department raised the transaction thresholds that trigger local-file transfer pricing documentation, though the underlying benchmarking and disclosure requirements are unchanged. Groups with related-party transactions should confirm which threshold now applies to them.
General information only, correct to the best of our knowledge at time of writing — it is not tax or legal advice and should not be relied on without a consultation specific to your circumstances.
