Accountant in Paphos
This is home. Our office is at the Onisiforou Center in central Paphos, and we have practised here as part of the Philippou Law Firm group since 1984 — so a Paphos business gets what a remote provider cannot: an accountant you can sit across from, who knows the local market, the district office and the people. Paphos has its own economy — tourism and hospitality, construction and real estate, a fast-growing community of relocating retirees, non-doms and remote founders, and the professional-services firms that support them. We cover all of it: bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and social insurance, corporate and personal tax, company formation and audit coordination, at fixed fees quoted before we start. The Cyprus compliance core is the same island-wide — 15% corporate tax, VAT registration once turnover passes €15,600 with returns at 19%, monthly payroll carrying roughly 15.4% employer contributions, and audited or ISRE 2400-reviewed accounts — but here you also get face-to-face service and a legal group under the same roof.
Why Paphos companies work with us
A real Paphos office — meet us in person
Unlike cloud-only providers, we are physically in Paphos at the Onisiforou Center. You can drop in with your paperwork, sit down to plan the year, or walk through a tax question face to face. For many Paphos owners that direct access — not a ticket queue — is exactly why they stay with us.
Tourism, hospitality and construction
Paphos runs on seasonal and project-based businesses — hotels, restaurants, short-term lets, contractors and developers. We handle seasonal payroll, VAT on hospitality and construction (including reduced rates and reverse-charge rules), retentions and stage billing, and give you per-season or per-project margin visibility rather than a year-end surprise.
Retirees, non-doms and relocating founders
Paphos is the island's magnet for relocating retirees, non-doms and remote founders. We establish tax residency (183-day or 60-day rule), register non-dom status — 0% Special Defence Contribution on dividends and interest — handle pension and foreign-income treatment, and structure a move correctly from the first year.
A law firm and accountants under one roof
Being part of the Philippou Law Firm group means company formation, contracts, property conveyancing and corporate administration are coordinated alongside your accounting — one group, one point of contact, in Paphos. Fixed fees are quoted up front and benchmarked to be competitive against other local firms.

No — Paphos is our base, but we serve clients across Cyprus and internationally in five languages. Paphos clients get the added benefit of in-person meetings whenever they help; everyone gets cloud bookkeeping, a document portal and electronic filing of every return.
Yes. Seasonal and part-time staff are routine for us: we register employees before they start, run the monthly payroll cycle, and remit PAYE, Social Insurance and GHS. Employer contributions total roughly 15.4% on top of gross pay, and we always show you total employment cost before you hire.
Compulsorily once taxable turnover exceeds €15,600 in any rolling 12-month period; earlier voluntary registration can help if your customers are VAT-registered. The standard rate is 19%, with reduced rates relevant to hospitality and certain construction work. We handle registration, quarterly returns and the sector-specific rules.
Cyprus offers attractive treatment: foreign pension income can be taxed at a flat 5% above a small annual exemption, or under the normal bands if that produces less tax — we compute both. As a non-dom you pay 0% Special Defence Contribution on dividends and interest. We establish your residency and file everything correctly.
Yes — we quote a fixed fee in advance based on your transaction volume, staff count and filings, and we invite you to compare it against local quotes for the same scope. You get a physical Paphos office and a legal group alongside, without paying more than a standalone practice.
