Obtaining a Cyprus Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Tax File Number (TFN) is a straightforward process that can be completed in a short period of time.
Every individual establishing residence in the Republic of Cyprus is required to obtain a Cyprus TIN.
Individuals working in Cyprus are required to register with the Tax Department if their annual gross income exceeds €19,500.
