The Tax Department is making big changes to its computer systems. They will update the main IT infrastructure. This is a large project. It will cause some online services to stop working for a short time.
The services will be offline from Friday, January 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Several important online platforms will be closed. This is for planned maintenance and important upgrades. The department thinks everything will be finished by Monday, January 26, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. The goal is to work better and use newer technology.
For 66 hours, people cannot use some online services. The systems that will be affected include "Tax For All" and "Tax Portal." The "TAXISnet" system will also be unavailable. The "gov.cy" government website will not work for tax matters. This shutdown is to add important system improvements. These are needed for better long-term work and user experience.
This break may cause problems. However, it is needed for a strong and modern digital system. Today, online money and information are very important. The Tax Department must invest in its technology. The upgrade will not just keep services running. It will also make processes easier and data safer. This will improve services for taxpayers. Officials say this is to stay ahead in technology.
People and businesses should plan for this. They should not try to do any tax tasks online then. This is because the systems will be down. Even if some parts seem to work, please do not use them. This is to avoid losing data. The department wants to make this change easy for everyone. They chose a weekend to have less impact on business hours. These upgrades will lead to a more efficient and secure tax system.
