On a regular basis, VAT on Holding Companies’ activities and Financial services remain top on the agenda both at domestic and EU level. The Cyprus Tax Department reacting to such recurrent VAT updates published a Circular on active holding companies engaged in the direct – indirect management of subsidiaries allowing opportunities for enhanced input VAT recovery.

During the session, the new Circulars, general principles on Holding – Financing Companies VAT treatment and input VAT recovery, as well as the applicable case law and treatment on financial services and intermediation arrangements will be analysed from a tax practical and legal angle with a focus on how VAT risks will be minimised and opportunities utilised.
