Common questions
- How do you ask to pay overdue tax in instalments in Cyprus?
- In writing, to the Tax Department. The gov.cy page on instalment plans for overdue debts says that for a new plan you contact the Department by e-mail or telephone, at the addresses and numbers it gives there. Send this document as an attachment to the e-mail and keep a copy and proof of sending. The Department decides whether it accepts a plan and on what terms, which is why the document makes a proposal and asks for written confirmation.
- Can Cyprus's Tax Department close a business for overdue tax?
- Yes. The tax reform in force since 1 January 2026 lets the Department seal a business's premises for tax debts, as well as for failing to file tax returns or to issue lawful receipts. Sealing comes after warnings from the Department. Anyone who receives such a warning about overdue tax has good reason to ask for an instalment plan at once and to keep up the instalments agreed.
- Does an instalment plan with Cyprus's Tax Department stop collection measures?
- The 2026 reform expressly exempts agreed instalments from one measure: for a tax debt over €100,000 not paid within 30 days of falling due, the Commissioner of Taxation may register a memo on the debtor's shares, which blocks their transfer, but not for a debt being paid in instalments agreed with the Department, or one that is disputed. That is why this request asks for written confirmation of the schedule, which is worth keeping, and for the exact total, with the interest and charges the law adds.
