I have been out of the translation business for a couple of years and I am now investigating the possibility of freelancing from the Republic of Cyprus. Does anybody know if self-employed translators in Cyprus must apply VAT to their charges, or can very small businesses elect to be VAT-exempt?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tim,

Welcome back to translation business!

Have a look at these links:

Ministry of Finance
http://www.mof.gov.cy/mof/mof.nsf/Main?OpenFrameset

Directory on official site for Republic of Cyprus
http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/cyphome/govhome.nsf/0/650BB3E084049E33C2256A8D002F81BC?OpenDocument&languageNo=1

These links provide information in Greek and English. There are plenty of links, however often in Greek only.

A simple search on Google should result in many hits:

cyprus taxation
cyprus taxes
cyprus "tax regulations"

Good luck!

Best regards,
Erik

welcome to Cyprus Jun 16, 2004

Dear Tim, welcome to Cyprus.

According to the New legislation of the Republic of Cyprus (VAT Law 95(I)2000)which came into effect on 1 February 2002, you will be subject to VAT registration only if your annual income exceeds CYP9,000.

Hope this will help you.

Best Regards
Emmanouil TYRAKIS
