Starting on August 22, 2025, new rules for using the Tax For All (TFA) online platform will take effect in Cyprus. Currently, you can log in directly or through the government service CY Login (formerly “Ariadne”). These changes will enable taxpayers, including foreign investors and entrepreneurs, to access a variety of government services with a single account.
A new authorization and identification format
Users with a CY Login account can log in to TFA with their usual username and password. Those who do not yet have an account must register. It is recommended that users log in via CY Login to access services that require identity verification. If a user has an AFT (equivalent to a TIN), the system will automatically link it to their profile.
Although TFA account holders can still use the standard login, authorization via CY Login provides a higher level of security and convenience. Detailed instructions on how to connect are available on the official TFA website in the "Information and Updates" section.
Online tax reporting
After the system restarts, employers will be required to submit their Tax and Social Security Contribution Return (TF7) exclusively electronically via TFA. The 2024 return must be submitted by December 31, 2025. It is not necessary to indicate the AFT for each employee. Starting in January, monthly returns for 2025 will be mandatory, even if payments have already been made through the old portal. The AFT will be required for each employee.
The deadline for submitting reports for January–November is December 31, 2025. For December reports, the deadline is January 31, 2026. The same deadlines apply to the payment of withheld taxes and contributions. The system will automatically recalculate all previously accrued penalties and interest to reflect the new deadlines. This will help avoid errors and unnecessary financial burdens.
Why is this important for businesses?
The digitization of tax services in Cyprus is part of a global trend toward simplifying and automating financial processes. For companies operating in international markets, this means reduced reporting time, simplified identification, and the ability to monitor tax obligations online from anywhere in the world.
