Further to the amending VAT legislation (effective from 1 January 2019 & covered in our June VAT Newsletter) on the VAT treatment of vouchers, the Cyprus Tax Department (CTD) has released Circular 235 to provide clarity on a number of significant aspects among others categories of vouchers affected, coupons not constituting vouchers, single and multi-purpose voucher distinctions, timing of VAT accounting and implications for intermediary sellers and purchasers.
1. Circular Overview
Applicability: On vouchers issued for the purchase of goods/services after 1 January 2019. There is express reference that amending VAT legislation is applicable even for vouchers issued up to 21 May 2019 before law enactment.
