The Cyprus Tax Department has temporarily streamlined the payment process for Defence and Health contributions on interest, dividends, and deemed dividends for the 2026 tax year, allowing direct payments through the Tax Portal without immediate declaration filing via TAXISnet.
The Cyprus Tax Department announced, on 26 March 2026, the introduction of a temporary change in how certain contributions are paid for the 2026 tax year.
For the time being, taxpayers will make payments for the following contributions directly through the Tax Portal (https://taxportal.mof.gov.cy/) without filing a declaration via TAXISnet:
- Defence and Health (GeSY) withholding on interest (codes 602 and 702)
- Defence and Health withholding on dividends (codes 603 and 703)
- Defence contribution on deemed dividends (codes 623 and 723)
The corresponding withholding declarations for these contributions will be submitted later through Tax For All (TFA). The Tax Department will announce the specific date in due course.
Taxpayers can access the Tax Portal either directly at https://taxportal.mof.gov.cy/ or through the Tax Department’s website at https://www.mof.gov.cy/tax under the e-services section.
