VAT rate
In Cyprus, VAT is a value-added tax imposed on the provision of goods and services. The regular VAT rate is set at 19%, with lower rates of 9%, 5%, and 3% applicable to certain categories. Certain supplies are taxed at a zero rate, while others are exempt from VAT. This tax is applied at various points throughout production and distribution, and businesses must charge the VAT and send it to the Cypriot tax authorities.
