What comes up for bloggers

Posts with a brief

A sponsored post has word count, links, term and approval. The invoice states what was delivered.

Affiliate and ads

Payouts from networks arrive irregularly and with deductions. They have to be assigned to the months in which they were earned.

Running costs

Domain, hosting, themes, plugins, newsletter tool and photos: many small subscriptions that add up.

Tax and invoicing in Cyprus

What applies to invoices in Cyprus, in short. As of October 2026.

VAT
Rates 19 %, 9 %, 5 % and 3 %, plus 0 % until 31 December 2026 for infant milk, nappies, hygiene products and fresh fruit and vegetables.
VAT registration
The threshold is €15,600 of taxable turnover over 12 months, or expected within the next 30 days. If you sell services to businesses in other EU countries, you generally register from the first sale. Until you are registered, Saldiqo leaves VAT off and adds up your turnover.
What goes on an invoice
Even businesses that are not VAT registered must issue invoices and receipts. Companies show their name, HE number, the words “private company” where they apply, and their registered office. Notes such as reverse charge appear in Greek and English.
Invoice timing
Issue invoices within 30 days.
E-invoicing
There is no mandate. Public bodies accept e-invoices (Peppol BIS 3.0) and suppliers send them voluntarily. EU rules follow from 1 July 2030.
VAT returns
VAT4 returns are filed online through TFA, quarterly with staggered periods, by the 10th of the second month after the period, moved to the next working day if it falls on a weekend. Saldiqo does not file returns.
