Highlight
Cyprus operates a hardware-based fiscalization system under which the issuance of fiscal receipts is mandatory. While direct communication with the Tax Authority is not required, the use of certified fiscal devices is compulsory, and POS applications themselves are not subject to certification. The country has used the euro (€) as its official currency since January 1, 2008.
Cyprus
There are two main types of fiscal devices in use: all-in-one standalone cash registers and POS systems integrated with certified fiscal signature devices (fiscal drivers). POS applications themselves are not subject to certification, provided they are properly integrated with an already certified fiscal solution. The entire fiscal setup must be verified for legal compliance by certified fiscal providers, who bear responsibility for ensuring that the system operates in accordance with applicable regulations.
