Transfer Pricing Questions
Does Cyprus have transfer pricing rules?
Yes. Cyprus introduced comprehensive transfer pricing legislation effective from 2022. Companies with related-party transactions exceeding certain thresholds are required to prepare transfer pricing documentation (Local File and potentially Master File) and submit a TP summary information form (TPSIF) with their tax return.
What are the Cyprus TP documentation thresholds?
Cyprus TP documentation is required when a company's aggregate related-party transactions exceed €750,000 per category (or €5 million for financial transactions) in a tax year. Even below these thresholds, the arm's length principle applies and transactions should be conducted on arm's length terms.
What is the arm's length principle?
The arm's length principle requires that related-party transactions be priced as if they were conducted between unrelated independent parties under similar circumstances. This is the international standard for transfer pricing under the OECD Guidelines.
When is transfer pricing documentation required?
Transfer pricing documentation must be prepared contemporaneously (i.e., at the time of the transaction or before tax return filing). The Local File must be retained and available upon request from the Cyprus Tax Authorities. A TP summary form is filed with the annual corporate tax return.
Does my company need a Master File?
A Master File is required for Cyprus entities that are part of groups with a consolidated revenue of €750 million or more. For smaller groups, only a Local File may be required if the transaction thresholds are exceeded.
Transfer pricing rules and thresholds are subject to change. Always verify current requirements with a qualified professional.
