Regulatory Directive Overview
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has issued a formal directive requiring all Cyprus Investment Firms to calculate and submit their annual regulatory fees for the previous year. In a significant move to enhance financial transparency and operational compliance, the updated form now incorporates the fee structures for 2025 and is available on the CySEC website.
Updated Submission Requirements
Firms must accurately complete the revised calculation form, specifically filling in the grey cells found in fields 1.5 through 1.7 as per the provided technical instructions. The directive mandates that each firm includes an extract from their audited financial statements clearly disclosing the total turnover for the 2025 financial year, thereby ensuring an exact fee calculation based on verified financial performance.

Compliance and Deadline
To meet the new regulatory requirements, firms are required to submit the completed and duly signed document through the official online portal available at CySEC Online Portal. The final submission must be completed within four months of the financial year’s end, setting a firm deadline of April 30, 2026. Additionally, the required fee payment must accompany the digital filing of the paperwork.
Support and Further Guidance
Firms in need of further clarification or technical support are advised to contact the accounts department via the dedicated email address provided in the directive. This step ensures that any procedural queries are addressed promptly, supporting the seamless transition to the new fee calculation process.
This structured approach underlines CySEC’s commitment to robust regulatory practices and provides a clear roadmap for investment firms striving for compliance in an evolving financial landscape.
