The Cyprus Tax office announced the 10-year government bond yield rates as at 31/12/2020 for a number of countries. These rates increased by 5% (the reference rate) can be used for calculating the notional interest deduction on new equity introduced in the business (01/01/2015 onwards). The choice of country depends on where the new equity has been invested. The NID is restricted to 80% of taxable profits generated by the application of the new equity.
The rates below apply for estimating NID for the year ended 31 December 2021.
