The Municipalities are granted the authority to collect the taxes mentioned in this section by the Law on Municipalities Law no. 52 (I)/2022, with the exception of the cemetery fee, which is imposed based on the Law on Cemeteries (burial and exhumation) of 2004, Law No. 257(Ι)/2004.

The Municipality of Strovolos provides the possibility of direct contact regarding taxation issues via the following:

The imposition of the Professional License Fee for legal entities is based on criteria established by the law itself and classified into eleven (11) categories, with a maximum limit starting from €768 up to €5,125 a year, depending on the type of legal entity, capital share, number of employees, etc.

All taxpayers are notified of the Fee rate by notice and a specific payment deadline is provided. After this date, a 10% surcharge is added.
Appeals can be submitted in writing at the Municipal Hall, Taxation Department (office 50) before the end of the payment deadline or online.

Legal entities beginning to operate or re-starting operations, within the municipal limits of Strovolos, should contact the Municipality within one month to declare their details, establish the fee due and issue the relevant license.
The Municipal Board has the right to increase the Professional License Fee each year by up to 14% of the fee of the previous year.

Each taxpayer is personally and promptly notified for the imposed fee, which must be paid by the date established by the Municipal Council and is written on the announcement. After that day, there is a surcharge of 10%.

The Cemetery Fee was imposed in 2002 to cover the cost of land acquisition and the fencing cost for the new cemetery in the Nissou area. The tax was payable in two instalments, on July 31st and December 31st. After that date, there was a surcharge of 20%.

The spectacle tax is charged at 5% on the price of each ticket sold and attended.

This fee is based on the value of the property which is located within the Municipality’s boundaries, as estimated by the Department of Lands and Surveys in prices of 2021.

The property ownership fee is 0.23 per mil on the estimated value of the properties.

Each year, the Municipality personally notifies every owner of the amount due for the current year as well as the deadline for payment. A relevant notification is also published in the Press.

A surcharge of 10% of the fee is added if the amount is not paid in time.

Not receiving a personal notification does not exempt anyone from the payment of the fee and those who do not receive one should contact the Municipality to take care of the debt in time and to confirm their postal address, which may not be entered correctly in the register.

It is necessary to present your personal notification at the cash desk when paying your fee or to state the owner’s ID number or to present the property’s registration certificate. By presenting the personal notification, the fee can be also paid at Commercial Banks or through the Municipality’s website (www.strovolos.org.cy) before the set payment deadline.
The fee is not applicable to places of worship, cemeteries, ancient monuments, listed buildings, property owned or used by a public charity foundation or belonging to a sports club (house, sports grounds), etc. Public property is also exempted, but in this case a proportional amount is paid in the form of a sponsorship against loss of earnings.

This fee is reciprocal for the service offered and it is imposed on the owner of the premises.
