Cyprus is preparing for a significant shift in how businesses issue invoices and submit data, with the competent authorities now assessing how ready the corporate sector is for the transition to electronic invoicing and digital reporting.
A Survey Designed To Map Readiness
The assessment is being carried out through a questionnaire developed as part of the work of the Interdepartmental Group. Its purpose is straightforward: to capture the current state of preparedness across the business community and identify where the greatest gaps remain.

According to the Employers and Industrialists Federation, known as OEB (oeb.org.cy), in an update to its members, the questionnaire is intended to provide a clearer picture of how companies are positioned ahead of the coming regulatory changes.
Why The Transition Matters
The initiative comes as Cyprus and the wider European Union move toward new requirements that are expected to reshape invoicing practices, data submission processes and the internal systems businesses rely on to operate efficiently.
For many companies, the change will not be limited to finance departments. It may require adjustments to information technology infrastructure, compliance workflows and day-to-day operational procedures. In that sense, the shift resembles a broader digital modernization effort rather than a simple administrative update.
Identifying Challenges Before They Become Costs
Beyond measuring readiness, the authorities also want to identify the practical obstacles businesses may face, the adaptations they will need to make and the support measures that could ease the transition.
That makes the questionnaire more than a data-gathering exercise. It is also a planning tool, one that could help policymakers design guidance and support mechanisms aligned with the realities of the market.
Preparing The Ground For Implementation
The responses are expected to help refine the understanding of the needs of the Cypriot business community and inform the next steps in implementing e-invoicing in Cyprus.
The questionnaire is available in both Greek and English and must be completed by Sunday, September 27, 2026.
