As of July 1, 2026, the Tax Department of Cyprus has mandated that all rental payments for real estate within the country must be made electronically. This new regulation prohibits cash transactions for rent and requires payments to be carried out through bank transfers, debit or credit cards, or other recognized electronic payment methods. The requirement applies to both individuals and legal entities, regardless of the rental amount or the type of real estate involved.

In addition to the new payment regulations, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) has launched a digital receipt issuance system. This electronic service enables users to obtain a digital certificate of their transactions, streamlining the process of payment confirmations. This initiative aims to simplify tax-related processes and reduce bureaucracy in financial dealings, particularly in rental payments. Both measures signify a push towards modernizing fiscal operations in Cyprus, aligning with broader trends in digital payments.
