Cyprus VAT Registration — The Complete 2025/26 Guide
VAT registration in Cyprus is mandatory once your taxable turnover exceeds €15,600 on a rolling 12-month basis. You can also register for VAT voluntarily to reclaim input VAT on purchases. This guide covers who needs to register for VAT in Cyprus, the €15,600 threshold, the Taxisnet process, timeline and required documents.
VAT registration Cyprus — the complete guide to registering online via Taxisnet, including form TD2001, documents and the 4–6 week processing timeline.
The short answer
You must register once your taxable supplies in Cyprus pass €15,600 over the last 12 months, or are expected to pass it in the next 30 days on their own. If you've already passed it, apply within 30 days from the end of the month in which you passed it. Registering late costs €85 for each completed month of delay. Below the threshold you can still register voluntarily, for example to reclaim VAT on your costs.

Key Registration Facts
How to complete VAT registration in Cyprus online
Create a Taxisnet account
Go to taxisnet.mof.gov.cy and register for a Taxisnet user account if you don't already have one. You will need your company registration number and director details.
Start Form TD2001
Log into Taxisnet and select the VAT registration option. Form TD2001 is the official Cyprus VAT registration application — complete it entirely online.
Enter company details
Provide your business name, Cyprus company registration number, registered address, business activity codes and director or authorised representative information.
Declare your turnover
Enter your estimated annual taxable turnover and the date you exceeded — or expect to exceed — the €15,600 threshold. This determines whether your registration is mandatory or voluntary.
Upload supporting documents
Attach your certificate of incorporation, director ID/passport, proof of Cyprus business address and bank account details. Incomplete uploads are the most common cause of delay.
Submit and await review
Submit Form TD2001 on Taxisnet. The Cyprus Tax Department reviews your application and issues your CY VAT number, typically within 4–6 weeks of a complete submission.
