Deline

Prepare your Cyprus VAT 4 return

Deline prepares your VAT 4 return for each quarter from your books: boxes 1 to 5 in euro and cents, boxes 6 to 11B in whole euro, checked against your VAT accounts. You approve the figures in Deline and file them yourself on the Tax For All portal. Deline files nothing.

  3. Check the boxes against your invoices and bills.

    Box 1 is the VAT on your sales, box 4 the VAT you reclaim on purchases, box 5 the difference. Sales to EU businesses are in 8A (goods) and 8B (services).

  4. Press Approve these figures.

    Approve once the quarter has ended and all its invoices and bills are in. Approving records the figures you checked; it files nothing. If a figure changes afterwards, the approval no longer counts and the button comes back. After approving you can lock the quarter's last month. Then enter the boxes on Tax For All, outside Deline.

    Step 4: Press Approve these figures.

If something goes wrong

  • "Add the end of your first VAT period": open Settings → Business → Cyprus tax details and fill in First VAT period ends from your registration certificate.
  • The boxes do not agree with the VAT accounts: an entry posted to a VAT account by hand is not on an invoice or bill. Ask your accountant to check it before approving.
