Should I pay VAT if I buy land ?


As regard to the New Legislation for VAT charge on land / plots, (all type of land, apart of agriculture land)

we insist that the owners should get in contact with the VAT Offices, so that to check if the property they plan to sell, is vat chargeable. 

For the owners who own land/plot 'as a share' , thus part of the land belongs to another owner, we insist that all the owners will get in contact with the VAT offices. 

Such charge should be notified to the prospective buyer by our agency, before the process of purchase.   

The vat charge on land where is applicable is 19 pct. 

Those owners who shall construct there resident in the land for which they have paid 19% vat, they have to prove that such property is their residence so that the authorities shall return the 14% of the charged amount back to their account.   To prove that they have to furnish the relevant authorities with the 1st bill of electricity which shows their name. 

In case your property is handled by our agency, please notify us the soonest, in case there is a vat charge.

Access to Title Deeds

The long term benefits of investing in property in and around Limassol are today very favorable and transactions are on the rise. Previous issues that could have prevented gaining access to title deeds have been resolved following the regulatory reforms of the ‘Trapped Buyers Law 2015”, which provides greater transparency.

Consequently, the Cyprus’ housing market is currently enjoying a significant boom period, which is expected to continue.

 

Property Sales in Limassol, going forward

Cyprus has a long history as a popular destination for property purchase, offering buyers near all-year around sunshine and stunning beaches, certificated to Blue flag standards of water quality, facilities and environment.

With its airport providing direct, year-round flights to the UK, the most popular area for British buyers has traditionally been Paphos in the south-west, and the surrounding villages.

However, Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus, after the capital, Nicosia, and easily reached within 20 minutes from any point across the island.

Since the opening of the 650-berth Limassol Marina in 2014, adjacent to the old port, the entire region has enjoyed the benefit of renewed interest from international property buyers. Recent favorable property prices have also attracted investment and an uptick in transactions from buyers who recognize the future is increasingly focused in Limassol, going forward.
