Tax arrears settlement to move online

The finance ministry announced on Tuesday that applications for settling tax arrears will only be accepted electronically via the government gateway portal Ariadni.

To do so, applicants are required to submit electronically all necessary documentation in accordance with the provisions of existing legislation.

The Tax Department said the introduction date of the legislation which provides for tax arrears will be announced at a later date by the Tax Commissioner.

The ministry called on all those interested, to register with Ariadni on time before the legislation is put into force “to avoid delays and unnecessary discomfort”.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
