Bar Association Protests Requirement for Certification of Property Sale Agreements

The Cyprus Bar Association (CBA) has expressed strong opposition to a circular from the Tax Commissioner requiring the certification of signatures on property sale agreements for submission for Capital Gains Tax calculation purposes. The Association considers the requirement unlawful, as there is no legal basis for it, neither law nor regulation imposing it. It has already lodged a protest with the Minister of Finance and the Tax Commissioner, requesting the immediate cancellation of the circular and will continue to monitor the issue.
