Add VAT to a net price, or strip VAT out of a gross price — at Cyprus's 19% standard rate or the 9% and 5% reduced rates.
You have a price before VAT and want the total.
Standard rate is 19%. 9% and 5% are reduced rates for specific goods and services.
| Net (excl. VAT) | €100.00 |
| VAT | €19.00 |
| Gross (incl. VAT) | €119.00 |
| Rate | Applies to (examples) |
|---|---|
| 19% | Standard rate — most goods and services |
| 9% | Reduced — hotels, restaurants, catering, domestic passenger transport |
| 5% | Reduced — foodstuffs, medicines, books, some first-home supplies |
| 0% | Zero-rated — exports, some international services |
These categories are examples only — the exact rate for a specific product or service is set by law and can change. Some supplies are exempt (for example certain financial, medical and rental services), which is not the same as zero-rated.
To add VAT, multiply the net amount by (1 + rate). At 19% that's net × 1.19. To remove VAT from a gross amount, divide by the same factor: net = gross ÷ 1.19, and the VAT is the difference. This calculator does both directions for any rate you pick.
A business must register for Cyprus VAT once taxable turnover passes the registration threshold (currently €15,600 in a 12-month period), and in some cross-border cases from the first euro. If you're self-employed, see the self-employed tax guide for how VAT fits alongside income tax and contributions.
The standard VAT rate is 19%. It applies to the majority of goods and services supplied in Cyprus that are not specifically assigned a reduced rate, zero rate or exemption.
The 5% reduced rate applies to foodstuffs (excluding alcoholic drinks and restaurant meals), pharmaceutical products, books (printed and electronic), newspapers, and certain supplies linked to a first home (renovation, construction) subject to conditions set by the government.
Zero-rated supplies are still VAT-taxable — the rate is just 0%, so no VAT is charged but the supplier can reclaim input VAT. Exempt supplies are outside the VAT system entirely: no VAT is charged, and the supplier cannot reclaim input VAT on related costs. Examples of exempt supplies include certain financial services, insurance, medical services and residential property rentals.
If you are VAT-registered in Cyprus and sell goods or services online, you generally charge Cyprus VAT on domestic sales. For cross-border B2C sales within the EU, the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme may apply once you exceed the EU-wide threshold of €10,000, requiring you to charge the destination country's VAT rate.
You must register once your taxable turnover exceeds €15,600 in any rolling 12-month period. You can also register voluntarily below that threshold. Some cross-border transactions (such as intra-EU acquisitions) may require registration from the first euro.
