VAT compliance in Cyprus — what goes wrong

The most common VAT errors in Cyprus businesses involve applying the wrong VAT rate to supplies, overclaiming input VAT on non-qualifying expenses (particularly entertainment costs), and failing to account correctly for cross-border supplies where the reverse charge applies.

TASS (Tax and Customs Authority) conducts desk-based and field audits of VAT returns. Red flags include returns consistently showing refund positions, turnover that differs significantly from year to year, and input VAT claims disproportionate to business activity. A proactive VAT health check can identify and correct issues before a formal audit begins.
