Cyprus VAT-registered suppliers of baby milk, infant and adult nappies, women's hygiene products, fresh or chilled potatoes and vegetables and fresh fruit in the listed CN headings.
No action — monitoring only.
Council of Ministers Order K.D.P. 337/2025, the VAT (Amendment of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules) Order 2025, published in the Official Gazette (Part III(I), No. 5981) on 21 November 2025. It continues the temporary 0% VAT rate from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026 on baby milk, infant and adult diapers, women's hygiene products, fresh or chilled potatoes and vegetables (now also rocket and cabbage), and fresh fruit (now also avocados).
What changed in detail
Cyprus’s Council of Ministers issued the Value Added Tax (Amendment of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules) Order 2025, K.D.P. 337/2025, published in Official Gazette Annex III(I) No. 5981 on 21 November 2025.
From 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026, it zero-rates the same categories as K.D.P. 349/2024:
- baby milk;
- infant and adult nappies;
- women’s hygiene products;
- fresh or chilled potatoes and vegetables in the listed headings of CN 0701 to 0709;
- fresh fruit in the listed headings of CN 0803 to 0810.
Two additions widen the list slightly: rocket and cabbage join the salad greens under CN 0709, and avocados join the fruit under CN 0804. Because it starts the day after K.D.P. 349/2024 ends, there is no gap between the two orders.
What it means
This order is in force today and runs to 31 December 2026. It has already been followed up: K.D.P. 362/2026, published on 16 October 2026, zero-rates infant milk, nappies, feminine hygiene products, fresh vegetables and fresh fruit for calendar year 2027, so the relief continues without a break on 1 January 2027.
Meat, fish, bread and milk returned to 0% during 2026 under separate orders, most recently K.D.P. 354/2026 to 31 May 2027. Check each product against the order that covers it.
