Mini-Audit: Compliance-Quickcheck

Know your real risk before 20 May 2026. In 15 minutes.

From 20 May 2026, EU Regulation 2024/1028 requires Airbnb and Booking.com to submit monthly data reports on every active listing directly to the Cyprus authorities. Hosts without a valid registration number won't be searched for — they'll be flagged automatically.

This Quick Check gives you an honest, structured assessment of your position across the three areas that matter most right now — using a simple traffic light system you can complete in under 15 minutes:

🔍 Block 1 — State Registry: Is your property correctly registered with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and your number visible on every listing?

🔍 Block 2 — VAT Threshold: Are you above or below the €15,600/year threshold — and do you know which rate applies to your specific rental arrangement?

🔍 Block 3 — 5% Primary Residence: Are you unknowingly at risk of a 14 percentage-point VAT recovery?

By the end, you'll have a clear picture of where you stand — and where to act before the deadline.

What you get:

✔ 3-page self-assessment PDF with traffic light system and notes column

✔ Available in 3 languages: 🇩🇪 Deutsch · 🇬🇧 English · 🇬🇷 Ελληνικά

✔ Quick Reference Card — all key numbers, deadlines, the 8 required documents and official links at a glance

🎁 Bonus: Chapter 1 Preview from the Cyprus STR Compliance System 

As a Quick Check buyer, you get exclusive free access to an excerpt from Chapter 1 of the full Compliance System —State Registry Blueprint. You'll read the complete opening of the chapter, including the most common compliance mistakes made by international owners, the management agency trap, and exactly what "Special Operating Label" means in practice. The remaining chapters stay locked — but you'll see precisely what the full system covers.

Who this is for: 

Owners of holiday properties in southern Cyprus renting on Airbnb, Booking.com or directly — whether self-managed, agency-managed or co-hosted. Particularly relevant if you are based outside Cyprus and rely on a local manager.

Who this is not for: Long-term rental landlords. Property owners outside Cyprus.

This Quick Check is the starting point. It shows you where you stand. The Cyprus STR Compliance System — available separately for €89 until 10 May — shows you what to do about it. As a Quick Check buyer, you've already seen how the system is built.
