Nicosia, Cyprus. Taxpayers in Cyprus will submit their 2025 income tax returns through the existing TAXISnet system after the Tax Department decided in April to delay full implementation of the Tax For All platform.
Use of TAXISnet retained for current filing year
The Tax Department said employees and self-employed individuals without audited accounts will continue using TAXISnet for this filing year, reversing earlier expectations that the newly formed Tax For All platform would handle income tax submissions.
Officials said the decision was part of a staged transition intended to avoid disruption while the new system and tax reform package are finalised. The tax reform was introduced in January and will apply for the 2026 tax year, which will be filed in 2027.
Speaking to the Cyprus Mail, the tax commission said the decision was taken because of implementation challenges and the need to stabilise the reform before full deployment.
The office described the shift as a practical measure.
“The demand of the reform and the speed of change made it difficult for the industry to adapt to a new system at this stage,” a spokesperson said, adding that a phased approach was required to avoid disruption to compliance and processing.
The same source said retaining TAXISnet for the current filing cycle was deliberate and temporary.
“It is wiser to use TAXISnet for one year more before the reform [comes in to effect], and then we will roll out Tax For All fully,” the official said, describing the move as a “strategic decision”.
Deadline remains July 31
The current legal deadline for filing 2025 personal income tax returns remains July 31, although the submission window has not yet opened.
Authorities said taxpayers will receive additional time once filings become available and that no penalties or interest will apply within any revised timeframe eventually announced.
