ROAD TAX 2025
CYPRUS ROAD TAX RENEWAL
The new year in Cyprus marks the beginning of road tax renewal time. Vehicle owners will have the option to pay their annual road tax in several ways. The window for non-penalty renewals opens from the end of the first week of January and runs all the way until mid-March. The prerequisite documents for renewals as always are the vehicle registration document, a valid insurance certificate, and a valid MOT certificate. The vehicle owner’s reference number will also be required and this can be found under the ‘owner’ section of the vehicle registration document. The insurance certificate number may also be required, as it sometimes takes a little time to register the policy onto the national database.
INSTALMENTS
Paying in monthly instalments is possible, but an application to pay this way must be submitted in advance to the district offices of the Road Transport Department. Tri-monthly instalments are standard, so paying this way is more straight forward. This does not require any advance applications.
CASH OR ONLINE PAYMENTS?
Road Tax can be paid by cash at the Road Transport Department. The Citizen Service Centres and the District Post Offices also accept cash payments for road tax. Online payments can be processed by the Road Transport Department or by using JCC Smart.
ROAD TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT
To renew or purchase road tax at a district office of the Road Transport Department, a completed TOM 8 application form and the cash for the sum required are needed. The pre-requisite documents are also required. The Road Transport Department also accepts online payments. The
Road Transport Department also accepts applications to declare a vehicle off road.
DISTRICT POST OFFICES & CITIZENS SERVICE CENTRE
Cash for the sum required as well as the pre-requisite documents are needed in order to renew or purchase road tax at a district Post Office or Citizen’s Service Centre. Both organisations also accept applications to declare a vehicle off road.
JCC ONLINE PAYMENTS
JCC Smart requires all users to register for their service. An email address and a password will be required for this. Once registered, users of this service will be able to make other online payments as well as renewing or purchasing road tax. A credit card along with the pre-requisite documents will be required. JCC smart does not accept applications to declare a vehicle off road.
THE FINAL DATE
If the payment window closes, owners of vehicles who have not renewed their road tax or declared their vehicle off-road will be fined a flat €10. Further penalties are applied if road tax remains unpaid for the full year. An additional 10% of the full amount due for the year will be due if this is the case.
OFF-ROAD DECLARATION
An owner can declare a vehicle off-road for a specific time or indefinitely. Owners that supply a bank IBAN will receive a road tax rebate directly into their nominated bank account. To declare a vehicle off-road, a completed TOM 12 form is required, along with the vehicle registration document. An off-road location for the vehicle will have to be nominated so that if necessary, the vehicle can be inspected. If the vehicle has been disposed of then the owner must notify the Road Transport Department in writing and supply a certificate of disposal.
