Cyprus Seeks Feedback on Pillar Two Tax Amendments
Cyprus has launched public consultations regarding proposed amendments to its minimum taxation law, known as Pillar Two. This global system aims to combat tax evasion and base erosion. The proposed changes are designed to bring Cyprus's national legislation into compliance with EU requirements and international standards.
The consultation period is open until September 5, 2026. For large multinational and national business groups falling under these rules, the amendments could necessitate a review of their tax strategies and reporting, particularly if their tax burden increases.
