< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Cyprus has taken significant steps toward e-invoicing adoption, recognizing its benefits in reducing administrative burdens, improving efficiency, and enhancing tax compliance. The country has fully mandated e-invoicing for public sector transactions, ensuring that government suppliers adhere to standardized digital invoicing requirements.
