Cyprus Tax Reform 2026: What Companies Still Get Wrong
On December 22, 2025, the Cyprus Parliament approved a package of tax changes, which became effective on January 1, 2026. Despite these new rules being in force for six months, a common issue persists: many consultants, comparative tables, and even internal company budgets continue to rely on figures that became obsolete at midnight on December 31, 2025.
Incorrect calculations can lead to inaccurate financial assessments, penalties, and overpayments. If you conduct business in Cyprus, it is crucial to review your financial models immediately. Local tax consultants can assist in recalculating based on the new regulations; relying on old sources carries significant risks.
Ensure you engage with a tax expert who is fully updated with the rules effective from January 1, 2026.
