Upcoming Changes to VAT Filing Deadlines in 2026

Businesses in Cyprus should take note of upcoming changes to VAT filing deadlines for the 2026 fiscal year. The Tax Department has announced that quarterly VAT returns will now need to be submitted within 20 days after the end of each quarter, instead of the previous 25-day period.

This adjustment aims to streamline reporting and improve compliance efficiency. Companies should review their accounting schedules to ensure timely submission and avoid penalties.

Key points to remember:

• Review internal accounting processes to meet the new 20-day deadline.

• Ensure that electronic filing systems are updated accordingly.

• Consult with your auditing advisor to avoid common filing errors.
