Cyprus VAT Association (Cyva) president Demetra Constantinou this week provided a summary of the benefits, services, and the reason for establishing the association.

Constantinou stated that the main reason for establishing CYVA was the lack of communication between the private and public sectors.

“The association constantly receives suggestions, but also complaints, with its members coming face to face with errors that exist in the current legislative framework on a number of occasions,” Constantinou told local outlet InBusiness.

Moreover, Constantinou explained that taxpayers have the ability to report any difficulties when having to implement the relevant legislation, with the association, before subsequently addressing the Tax Department or the Ministry of Finance for relevant arrangements.

“The aim of the association is to bridge the gap between the private and public sector, to give a voice to its members and to evaluate what is worth transferring to the Tax Department of the Ministry of Finance in order to help realise a more modern, up-to-date legislative framework, where people have the ability to remain compliant,” Constantinou said.

She added that it was a great honour for the association to be recognised both by the Ministry of Finance and by the House of Representatives, as a result of which the association now takes equal part in the finance meetings of the House when issues related to VAT are discussed, but also issues that are forwarded by the European Commission.

As Constantinou explained, “the association is a communication platform, as oversights, errors and difficulties in the implementation of the legislation noted by its members are forwarded to the Tax Department, so as to find the common component between all those involved”.

“An important action of the association is to hold seminars regarding the training of citizens in VAT matters,” she concluded.
