Paphos Life

Hi josef k. I just logged into the taxportal so the system seems to be working. Did you also enter the 'Capcha' code that generates when logging in? As an aside, I managed to answer my own question. I found online (can't remember where now!) a guide in english on how to use the taxportal including m...

Has anybody had any success paying the 1st installment of the 2023 Temporary Tax through the Taxportal please? I ask this as you can no longer pay through the JCC. After logging on to the Taxportal and going to 'my account', none of the options/codes show any reference to installments. Any help woul...

Does anybody know what the official GBP-EURO exchange rate for the 2022 tax return is please? I asked at the Paphos Tax Office yesterday but they didn't have it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll give John a ring.

Apologies for hijacking this thread but has anybody recently been able to get their satellite dish removed please? I know the scrap dealers do removals but is there anyone else? Mine is an old 2.7 metre dish. Thanks in advance.

Has anybody managed to get into the taxportal recently? On login, it asks for the usual username, password and captcha but now also asks for an 'additional pin' number. The Ministry of Finance website doesn't give any instructions how to get this. Does anbody know how to do this please? Thanks in ad...

Thanks for your replies Devil & glowred. I need to look into this further.

Does anybody know please if it is still possible to buy Johnstones fence stain anywhere in Paphos? I must admit, I've not seen it in any DIY stores I have visited recently. Perhaps it's no longer brought onto the island?

Thanks Polly. If I don't receive a new one near to the expiry date, I'll go to the Citizen Advice Centre and ask there.

The question of these cards has come up on this site recently regarding dates on the 2020 Taxisnet return. Does anybody know please if these cards are still relevant if you belong to GESY? My white card shows a validity end date but my S1 does not. Also, if these cards are still relevant, how do you...

Now shown on JCC.

Last week out of the blue, I received a 'Customs Check Notification' from Cyprus Post. I was surprised as I was not expecting any package from the UK. On registering on the Cyprus Post Thalis system, I find that it is a card and its status is 'Awaiting Documents' and, asking me to upload an invoice ...

Has anybody been able to pay their 1st installment of the 2021 temporary tax through the jcc yet please? For self-assesment, it only shows the option for the 2020 2nd installment. Late this year? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone for your quick replies. Mouse, the answer is yes. I live in a 30 year old concrete block!

I'm thinking of getting a standalone electric warm air heater for the winter. I notice that the high tech Dyson one costs around 700 Euro. I was looking for something cheaper. Does anybody have any suggestions please? Thanks.

The aircraft was an Antonov AN-22. Flightradar24.com showed it as Ukrainian registered (where it was built) with the flight originating from Pristina (Kosovo). UN troop movement? As soon as I heard it, I knew it wasn't the usual Greek Airforce C130 or A400.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. It looks like I may have to follow Termites Dream's suggestion and go to the Paphos Municipality planning office (I live in Kato Paphos so don't have a Muktar).

Have been away for one week and returned to find our neighbour (non-Cypriot or British) has added a 2 foot high addition to our existing fence without permission comprising of old wood (with screws sticking out). Even though wooden fences are 'moveable' structures, we're being told that, in general,...

Just to bump this thread, has anybody had any success recently in solving a barking dogs situation?

Have paid through JCC. Thank you AnaritaAG for pointing me (us) in the right direction.
