Indirect tax ebook - Cyprus

Scope

VAT is a turnover tax levied at each stage of the production and distribution. Liability for VAT rests with the person supplying the taxable goods or services or importing goods into Cyprus. However, the supplier is allowed to deduct from his VAT liability on sales made the amount of VAT paid and properly invoiced to him in relation to purchases effected by him, or VAT paid by him at importation. The actual burden of the tax is therefore borne by the final consumer.

Cyprus VAT is levied on taxable supplies which take place in Cyprus and is collected by the Cyprus VAT authorities.
