Cyprus Accounting & Bookkeeping Fees: Transparent Costs for Your LTD [2026]

How much does an accountant cost in Cyprus?

For a passive holding company or crypto business, count on approximately €1,200 to €1,500 per year. Do you have an active trading business or e-commerce store with monthly invoices and a VAT number? Then your combined accounting and audit costs typically range between €2,500 and €4,500 per year.

Don't fall for cheap bait; in Cyprus, an annual statutory audit is legally mandatory for every Cyprus LTD, and cheap accountants charge top dollar for this afterwards.

Cyprus Accounting Fees pricing

If you have taken the step to do so, you benefit from the unprecedentedly low corporate tax rate of 15%. However, to remain compliant with the Cypriot tax authorities, your administration must be watertight.

Here is exactly how the Cyprus accounting and bookkeeping fees are structured and what you can expect.

1. Accounting & VAT Returns

This is the ongoing, monthly work. The costs for this depend 100% on the volume of your business.

  • Transaction volume: A consultant with 5 invoices per month is much cheaper than a dropshipper with 500 micro-transactions.
  • VAT & VIES (VAT returns): As soon as you reach the threshold of €15,600 or provide B2B services within the EU, you are liable for VAT. This means a quarterly VAT return and a monthly VIES return (for intra-community supplies).
  • Payroll (Salary administration): Do you pay yourself a local salary for social security purposes? Then you pay a small monthly amount (approx. €25 – €35 per employee) for payroll administration and mandatory contributions.

2. The Statutory Audit

This is the part that international entrepreneurs often forget.

In Cyprus, every registered Limited liability company (LTD) is legally required to submit annual audited financial statements prepared by an independent, certified accountant.

Even if your company is “dormant” or has had 0 transactions, this audit must be performed. For a holding company with no active operations, these audit fees start at around €800.

The messier your monthly bookkeeping is, the more hours the auditor needs, and the higher this invoice will be. That is why we handle both seamlessly under one roof.
