The Tax Facts are intended to serve as a practical source of information and do not replace specific professional advice. Experts from our team remain at your disposal to provide you with professional, personalized advice based on our extensive experience and industry knowledge. The guide does not reflect all COVID-19 policy measures. For the latest developments, please subscribe to our EY Cyprus Tax Alerts.

Some of the changes expected in 2022 and beyond is the ratification of the Transfer Pricing legislation, the implementations of BEPS 2.0, and the so-called global minimum tax, as well as the introduction of green taxes, and a digitized tax department.

In the occasion of the release of the Tax Facts guide, Philippos Raptopoulos, Partner and Head of Tax and Legal Services at EY Cyprus, said: “Cyprus and Governments worldwide are reforming their tax code at an unprecedented rapid pace. Taxpayers need a guide, such as EY Cyprus’ Tax Facts, to stay well-informed on the shifting tax landscape, especially those contemplating new markets. With this new edition of Tax Facts, we provide a high level, yet comprehensive, guide to the Cyprus tax system.”
