The Cyprus Tax Department has introduced Tax For All (TFA)—a unified digital platform—to streamline tax administration and replace legacy systems like TAXISnet. The portal consolidates services for income tax, VAT, certificates, payments, and more. This article covers registration, features, benefits, and tips for using TFA effectively.

What Is TFA?

TFA, or Tax For All, is the central electronic system for tax services in Cyprus. It merges various tax functions into one user-friendly portal. Key features include:

• Tax registration and account management
• Filing VAT and income tax returns
• Issuing tax clearance and registration certificates
• Online payment of taxes and fees
• Accessing past returns, issuing refunds, and handling objections

This system replaces older platforms, aiming to simplify tax procedures for all users.

Who Needs to Register?

Registration on TFA has been mandatory since January 8, 2024. All taxpayers—including individuals, self-employed professionals, companies, VAT-registered entities, and non-resident taxpayers—must register before conducting any tax-related activity.

To access TFA, users need a Tax Identification Number (TIN). This number begins with “6” followed by seven digits and a control letter (e.g., 6XXXXXXA).

After logging in, choose whether you’re registering as an individual or entity. Upload the required documents—such as ID, Yellow/Pink Slip, or passport—and submit the application. You’ll receive your TIN and TAXISnet login details within three working days.

3. VAT Registration (If Needed)

For VAT registration, complete Form T.D.1101 after obtaining your TIN. The entire process is handled through the TFA portal.
