On Monday 26th August the Cyprus Revenue Authority announced that from the 3rd of September 2024 the submission of appeals to the Commissioner of Taxes under Sections 51A and 52A of the Value Added Tax Law 95(I) of 2000, as amended, will only be done electronically.
Specifically, this will only be done through the new Tax For All (TFA or 'Taxes For All') digital portal by selecting 'Filing an Appeal' under 'Services'.
As stated in the Department's statement, the prerequisite for filing a VAT appeal is to create an account on the TFA portal and link it to a TIN. More detailed information on the changes can be found in the User Guide and Frequently Asked Questions sections of the Tax Agency's website.
The Department recalls that an independent All Cyprus Appeals Expertise has recently been established by decision of the Tax Commissioner and is operational. Its main purpose is to speed up the processing of taxpayers' appeals and to ensure the transparency of the Department's decisions. Please note that the TFA Taxpayer Portal will be unavailable from the 1st to the 3rd of September 2024 in order to be updated accordingly. The Department apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
