Cypriot Intrastat Thresholds

The following annual Intrastat thresholds apply in Cyprus (calendar year) for 2026:

Type of Intrastat: standard declaration

• Arrivals: EUR 380,000
• Dispatches: EUR 75,000

Type of Intrastat: detailed declaration

• Arrivals: EUR 2,700,000
• Dispatches: EUR 5,800,000

These thresholds are computed annually according to the calendar year. Once filed, a complete calendar year needs to be covered by a company in order to stop filing these returns. For example, if a company exceeds the threshold in March 2024 on arrivals, Intrastat returns for arrivals are due in December 2025. These thresholds are calculated according to the invoice value.

It is the responsibility of the economic operators to monitor these thresholds and start submitting Intrastat returns when due.
