A request to Cyprus's Tax Department for a tax clearance certificate, asked for, for example, when bidding in a public tender or renewing a work permit. It gives the purpose and the date the certificate is needed by, states whether the tax returns have been filed and whether any tax is owed or paid in agreed instalments, and asks for any outstanding item to be notified in writing. The Department takes such requests by e-mail to its district offices; for VAT, the certificate is issued only through Tax For All (TFA).

Common questions
- When is a tax clearance certificate needed in Cyprus?
- When a body asks for proof that the taxpayer has met their tax obligations: when bidding in a public tender, or to renew a work permit, for example. For the sale or exchange of a property the Land Registry asks for a different certificate, on the property's taxes, on its own form N.313, which the Tax Department stamps. Which certificate exactly, and how recent it must be, is for the body asking to say, so ask it first and write the purpose in the request.
- Is a tax clearance certificate in Cyprus requested through TFA or by e-mail?
- For VAT, only through Tax For All (TFA): the certificate is requested from the requests and certificates menu, carries a QR code to check that it is genuine, and can be saved or printed at once. Otherwise, the Tax Department has announced that it accepts requests for certificates by e-mail, including those for bidding in public tenders, at the e-mail addresses of its district offices. This request is sent as an attachment to the e-mail.
- What if tax is overdue when a clearance certificate is requested in Cyprus?
- The certificate attests that the taxpayer has met their tax obligations, so overdue tax or returns not filed have to be put right first. File the missing returns and pay or settle what is owed; a request to pay in instalments is a separate document. This request asks the Department to notify any outstanding item in writing, so that you know exactly what has to be put right.
