Cyprus VAT calculator

Add VAT to a net figure, or strip it out of a gross one, at any Cyprus rate. Going up is easy. Coming back down is where the money goes missing, so this page shows both routes.

One transaction, two figures

Going up is easy. Coming back down is where the money goes.

€1,000.00 net at 19% is €1,190.00 gross. Both figures describe the same invoice. There are two ways back to the net, and only one of them arrives.

Net, what the invoice is for
€1,000.00

add 19%

Gross, what the customer pays
€1,190.00

Two ways back

  • Divide by 1.19

    The route that arrives. VAT is a share of the gross, not of the net, so the way back down is division rather than subtraction.

    VAT actually due€190.00

  • Take 19% off

    The obvious move, and wrong. 19% of €1,190.00 is more than the €190.00 of VAT actually charged, because you are taking the share off the bigger figure.

What the shortcut costs, at every Cyprus rate

The same €1,000.00 invoice, walked up and then back down both ways.

0%€1,000.00€1,000.00€1,000.00€0.00

The shortcut is exactly right at one rate, and it is the rate with no VAT in it. Everywhere else it overstates the VAT and understates what you actually earned.

Zero-rated is not the same as exempt

Both mean the customer pays no VAT, but they behave differently. A zero-rated supply is taxable at 0%, so you still reclaim the VAT on the costs behind it. An exempt supply, such as certain financial or health services, carries no VAT and blocks you from reclaiming that input VAT. The distinction decides how much you can recover, so it is worth getting right.

    The net, VAT and gross update instantly. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

The standard Cyprus VAT rate is 19%. Reduced rates of 9%, 5% and 3% apply to specific goods and services, and some supplies are zero-rated at 0%.
Switch the mode to gross. The calculator divides by 1 plus the rate to find the net figure, then shows the VAT element. For 19% it divides the gross by 1.19.
19% covers most goods and services. 9% applies to areas such as restaurants, hotels and passenger transport; 5% to items like basic foodstuffs and medicines; 3% to books, newspapers and periodicals, disability aids, and private waste-collection services. Check your specific supply, as this is a quick calculator rather than tax advice.
No. Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% and still let you reclaim input VAT on your costs. Exempt supplies carry no VAT and do not let you reclaim the VAT behind them.
Often the reverse charge applies, so you do not add Cyprus VAT and the customer accounts for it. It depends on what you supply and the customer's VAT status. Use the reverse-charge checker to be sure.
VAT rates are set by law and can change. The figures here are the Cyprus rates as of 2026. For a filing-ready figure, always confirm the current rate for your supply.
