Cyprus VAT receipt extraction, on a 200-page PDF, in 20 minutes.
Drop the PDF your client just sent. Pileform reads every receipt, applies 19 / 9 / 5 / 0 per line, infers the rate when it is missing, and hands back one Excel workbook per supplier. Built in Nicosia, defaults tuned for Cyprus practitioners.
Cyprus VAT is 19 / 9 / 5 / 0, sometimes mixed on the same ticket. The standard 19% covers most goods. 9% is restaurants, hotels, and transport. 5% is books, basic foods, bottled water. 0% is specific exports and certain services. The receipt prints whichever rate applies. The accountant types each rate by hand, every line, every page, every quarter.
One wrong rate at quarter end means refiling. Pileform applies the rate per line and yellow-flags the inferred ones, so review takes minutes instead of hours.
Built for the rate column, not just the supplier name.
Most general-purpose capture tools normalise every line to the standard rate and leave the rest to you in review. We do not. The rate column is per-line, with Cyprus defaults in the engine and inference flags wherever the receipt does not spell the rate out.
19 / 9 / 5 / 0, per line.
The rate column is per-line, not per-receipt. A single Alphamega ticket can mix bottled water at 5%, office supplies at 19%, and zero-rated catering on the same run. Pileform applies each rate to its line, and the supplier-level VAT totals reconcile back to the receipt’s printed gross.
Bottled water · €5.71 · 5% next to Office supplies · €12.40 · 19% on the same supplier tab, both reconciling to the receipt’s gross.Inference flagged, never silent.
When the rate is not printed, Pileform infers from supplier category and line item, then yellow-flags the row. The source word is preserved in a cell comment, so the reviewer can confirm in seconds.
The workbook is still ready to post. You just know exactly which 4 rows to eyeball out of 200, instead of trusting every line equally. That is the difference between a tool that respects the audit trail and one that hides its uncertainty.
Greek receipts, English chrome.
The extractor reads Greek (“ΦΠΑ”, “συμπεριλαμβανομένου ΦΠΑ”) and 10 other languages. Workbook headers stay in your firm’s configured language. Source phrases stay in their original language for audit.
Cash rounding, to the cent.
Cyprus 5¢-rounding on cash payments means Net + VAT often will not equal Total. Pileform surfaces the gap as an explicit Adjustment cell, every time, so the workbook always reconciles.
Net 12.18 + VAT 2.31 = 14.49; printed Total 14.50; Adjustment 0.01. Books still balance.One workbook per supplier.
Forty-seven fuel receipts consolidate into a single Petrolina tab. The supplier summary tab carries the VAT control total. Each row links to the original receipt image, embedded inside the workbook itself.

Common questions on Cyprus VAT extraction.
Most Cyprus receipts print the rate next to each line. When the rate is missing, Pileform infers it from the supplier category and the line items, then yellow-flags the row. Bottled water and books are 5%. Cafe meals, hotel stays, and transport are 9%. Everything else defaults to 19% standard. The inference is shown to you for confirmation, never silently applied.
Yes. The extractor reads inclusive-VAT phrasing in 11 languages, including Greek (“συμπεριλαμβανομένου ΦΠΑ”), English (“VAT included”), and Turkish (“KDV dahil”). Each total is tagged with whether VAT is already inside it, with the source phrase preserved in the workbook for audit. Treating an inclusive total as a net subtotal is the single most expensive bookkeeping bug we see; we never let it happen silently.
Cyprus deprecated 1¢ and 2¢ coins in 2014. Cash totals round to 5¢ at the till, so Net + VAT often does not equal Total. Pileform surfaces the gap as an explicit Adjustment cell. The workbook always reconciles, the rounding source is auditable, and nothing gets silently fudged.
Yes. UK VAT (20 / 5 / 0), EU VAT (multi-rate, country-detected), GST regimes (Malaysian, Singapore, Australian), and zero-rated regimes are all supported. Cyprus is in the defaults because that is who we built it for, but the engine handles any regime the receipt declares.
About 12 minutes for a typical 200-page batch. Pileform processes pages in parallel and retries the hard ones (handwritten taxi slips, five-receipts-on-one-scan pages) automatically. You get an email when the workbook is ready, so you can drop the pile and walk away.
