FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Cyprus company compliance and annual requirements

Cyprus companies must file annual returns (Form HE32) with the Registrar of Companies accompanied by audited financial statements, maintain a registered office address, appoint a company secretary, comply with beneficial ownership (UBO) reporting requirements, and hold annual general meetings. Separately, companies also have accounting and tax obligations — such as corporate tax returns and statutory audits — which are typically handled by an accountant or audit firm.

Missing compliance deadlines in Cyprus results in penalties and potential legal consequences. Late filings with the Registrar incur additional fees, and continued non-compliance can lead to your company being struck off the Register. A struck-off company loses its legal standing and cannot conduct business until restored.
