You will need to charge your customers VAT i.e. 15% and then pay the charged amount to the Cypriot VAT office once every 3 months.


Actually you will have to charge only European countries for VAT.


Alternative is that you don't register your Cyprus company for VAT while the only purpose for this company will be to charge for instant a Seychelles company which don't is liable to charge VAT at the time speaking. This is a common way to avoid the VAT issue and also to be able to sell services like your 15% cheaper than the competition. The same applies for physical goods.

In this case the Cyprus owner must also own the Seychelles Company?

Hello Admin

But if you want sell from Cyprus company to Seychelles company then you should prove that the goods left Cyprus to non-eu country for that Cyprus office dont request pay VAT
Or you speak about of have as director a Seychelles company in Cyprus company?

Even if audits are now mandatory in Cyprus?

 

[negon]

No who should do that?

Well these audits will be submitted to someone won't they? Usually to the government. Or am I missing something?

it's to the local tax office and they will not care at all unless it is illegal activity!
