Accounting and invoicing for market stalls

Vegetables, cheese, bread, flowers, fish: everything at a market stall runs on cash, yet pitch fees, purchases, vehicle and deliveries to restaurants need receipts. Saldiqo records the expenses, writes invoices for hospitality and companies and helps you see at month end what is left.

What comes up for market stalls

Cash at the stall, receipts in a box

At the stall customers pay in cash. Pitch fee, goods and vehicle create receipts that get lost between dates.

Several markets

Wednesday city centre, Friday suburb, Saturday farmers’ market: each market has its own fees and sales.

Delivery to hospitality

Some stalls supply restaurants and shops. That needs delivery notes and invoices.

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

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.
