The Cyprus Tax Department extended the deadline for VAT returns and payments for the period ending February 28, 2026, to April 20, 2026, citing Easter holidays as the reason for the extension announced April 9.

The extension covers three specific obligations: filing the VAT return for the February 2026 period, paying VAT due for that period, and submitting the VIES recapitulative statement for March 2026. After April 20, these obligations will be considered overdue.

Late filing penalties will apply after the extended deadline, including €100 for delayed VAT return submission, 10% additional tax on VAT due, and €50 for late VIES summary table submission. The Cyprus Tax Department's official notice stated the extension was granted by decision of the Tax Commissioner specifically due to the Easter holiday period.
