According to the Cyprus Income Tax Law, Cyprus companies had the obligation to submit a temporary tax assessment / estimation of their 2017 chargeable income.

The temporary tax assessment / estimation is payable in two equal installments, before or at the following dates:

  • 31 July 2017
  • 31 December 2017

A 10% surcharge is imposed on the difference between the tax as finally determined in the relevant annual report (financial statements) and the temporary tax assessment / estimation when the temporary assessment / estimation is less than the 75% of the chargeable income. Revised tax assessment / estimations can be submitted at the Cyprus Tax department on or before 31 December 2017.

Companies that did not submit temporary tax assessment on 31 July 2017 or companies with taxable income in the second half of 2017  (1 August - 31 December 2017) will also have to submit temporary tax assessment by 31 December 2017.

Cyprus Companies which pay their taxes after the due dates interest is imposed.

If in according to the company's estimates there is no taxable income or any tax due, the Cyprus Company is not required to make a declaration.

The settlement of the tax payment can be made by our office or via the JCCSmart website.
