We would like to remind you that the payment deadline for the 2nd and final provisional tax installment for the tax year 2022 is the 31^st of January 2023.

The timely payment of provisional tax can be made through the tax portal of the government or jccsmart.com, the card payment processing system that facilitates the electronic settlement of taxes through debit/credit cards. Overdue payments cannot be settled via JCC and can only be processed via the Tax Portal of the government.

Tax provisions on temporary taxation

Every Cyprus company with taxable income is required to calculate the estimated profits of the same year and pay the corresponding tax in two equal installments on July 31 and December 31. If the expected taxable profit declared in the temporary tax return is less than 75% of the company’s final tax profit, then an additional tax of 10% is added to the final tax to be paid.

The provisional tax is payable in two equal installments, as follows:

 Late payments (made after the effective deadline) are subject to a 5% penalty as well as interest (at 1.75% per annum for 2022). An additional 5% penalty may be imposed if the tax remains unpaid, two months after the statutory deadlines.

Revised provisional tax calculation

Taxpayers can revise their provisional tax calculation (upwards/downwards) until 31 December 2022.
