  • Leaving the registration number off adverts, promotion or booking documents.
  • Applying before getting a tax number and fire and public liability insurance.
  • Trying to use this register for a property permitted as a hotel or tourist accommodation, which it does not cover.

Questions

Short or long lets?

Short lets need registration with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism; long lets do not go through this register.

Do I need a licence for short-term rentals in Cyprus?

Villas, houses and flats let short-term must be entered in the Deputy Ministry of Tourism register and get a registration number. The number must appear in all adverts and related transactions, and the Deputy Ministry may inspect.

How much does short-let registration cost in Cyprus?

€222 per property for every three years, paid via JCC once the application is approved.

Can a property manager register my property for me?

Yes. An operator can apply with the owner's authorisation; both individuals and companies may apply.

Do I pay tax on short-let income in Cyprus?

Yes. Operators must pay income tax and VAT where it applies, and local overnight-stay charges where applicable.
