According to Cyprus VAT Regulations a taxable person is obligated to charge VAT on his taxable supplies (VAT output) and deduct any tax allowable paid on taxable supplies (VAT input) of goods or services received and accounts for the balances to the VAT services. If VAT output in a VAT period exceeds total VAT input a payment has to be made to the VAT authorities. If VAT input exceeds VAT output the excess VAT input is carried forward as a credit and set off against future VAT output.
