Why Haven Comply

One integrated solution, not three fragments

We close the gap between your property manager, your lawyer and your accountant — the months in between belong to nobody else.

Bills prepared

Electricity, water, municipality and co-ownership charges prepared on time for you to pay through JCCSmart, a licensed Cypriot payment operator. Every receipt archived.

Reporting & tax

Monthly net-yield tracking, continuous VAT threshold monitoring, and an annual return prepared and filed by an ICPAC-certified accountant.

Registration & renewals

Where needed, the STR registration is filed with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism — then watched, with renewal alerts at 90, 30 and 7 days.

How it works

Four steps, then it runs

The audit is free and carries no commitment. If your property is already in order, we tell you that and the conversation ends there.

  1. Free audit

    We check your tax and VAT position, your outstanding local bills and liabilities, and your registration status. Written report within 48 hours.

  2. You decide

    If there is nothing to fix, we say so. If there is, you get a written quote — setup fee, government licence fee, monthly subscription — and you choose a tier.

  3. We set up

    We build your compliance file: tax and VAT position, bill preparation and — where needed — the STR registration with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism. Baseline complete in about thirty days.

  4. It runs

    Bills prepared for your approval, monthly report delivered, deadlines flagged before they arrive, annual return filed. You approve and pay; we do the rest.

Every property type

Villas, apartments, townhouses — one compliance layer

Whatever the property looks like, the same licence, payment and reporting obligations apply. Haven Comply does not manage or own property.

What the setup fee covers — and what it does not

A one-time setup fee of €200 (+ VAT) applies to both tiers, charged at activation. It covers our onboarding work: collecting and verifying your documents, establishing your tax and VAT position, setting up bill preparation and, where needed, assembling and submitting the STR registration file.

The government licence fee is separate and payable by you. It is set by the authorities, not by us, and we never mark it up. The payment goes directly to the authority through JCCSmart — it does not pass through Haven Comply.

Spread across a cycle that is around €6 a month over the first three years and €4 a month thereafter — but it falls as a single payment in the year it is due, which is exactly the kind of date owners abroad forget. We track it and tell you before it lands.

Your free audit includes a written quote covering all three: the €200 setup fee, the government licence fee applicable to your property, and the monthly subscription — all Haven Comply fees shown exclusive of Cyprus VAT (standard rate, currently 19%), added at invoicing.

How we are built

The questions a careful owner asks first

You are being asked to let a company you have not met handle your licence and your bills. These are the answers before you ask.

Your money never passes through us

Haven Comply never receives, holds or transfers client funds. Payments move from your account to the biller through JCCSmart, the licensed Cypriot payment portal. We prepare the instruction; the regulated operator executes it. This is confirmed by written legal opinion and is structural — not a policy we could change later.

The tax filing is signed by a regulated professional

We prepare and reconcile the figures. An ICPAC-certified accountant reviews, signs and submits the return on Taxisnet. ICPAC is the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus — its members are regulated and personally liable for what they file.

We are a Cyprus company, not an offshore intermediary

Haven Comply is operated by Haven Ops Ltd, a Cyprus private limited company (registration no. HE 493876). The name is registered with CYIPO. We are subject to Cypriot law and to the same authorities as the filings we handle.

We do not manage your property

We do not handle guests, keys, cleaning or pricing, and we never will. If you work with a property manager, we work alongside them. Compliance is the whole business — there is no adjacent service we are trying to sell you into.

Dashboard preview — in development, planned for launch in January 2027

Free audits open now · service starts January 2027

Haven Comply is early. Free compliance audits are available now; the subscription service starts in January 2027. From day one the work is done by people — filings prepared, bills prepared for payment through JCCSmart, monthly reports produced.

The self-service owner dashboard is in development and planned for launch in January 2027. If it arrives later, your monthly report comes by email as a PDF and your account manager is a person you can call. Nothing in the service depends on the platform being finished.

We would rather tell you this than have you discover it later. If you would prefer to wait until the dashboard is live, say so and we will contact you when it ships.

I founded Haven Comply because every non-resident owner I spoke with in Cyprus already had a property manager, a lawyer and an accountant — and still missed deadlines none of them was responsible for watching. Closing that gap is the whole business, not a feature of it.

Questions

Before you get in touch

Still unsure? The free audit is the fastest way to a precise answer for your property.

Request the free audit
How much does Haven Comply actually cost?
A one-time €200 setup fee at activation, then €69/month per property on Serenity or €109/month on Serenity+ — cancel at any time. All Haven Comply fees are shown excluding Cyprus VAT (standard rate, currently 19%), added at invoicing. Separately, the Cypriot government charges its own STR licence fee (€222, currently), paid directly through JCCSmart and never marked up by us. The free audit gives you a written quote covering all three before you commit to anything. Own more than one property? Pricing is tailored to your portfolio after the audit.
What does the free audit actually involve?
We ask you four questions about the property — whether a Cypriot tax return has been filed, roughly what it earns, whether you hold a Cypriot bank account, and its registration status. We then send you a written report setting out where you stand, what is exposed and what it would cost to fix. There is no charge and no commitment. If nothing is wrong, the report says so.
Do I have to send you money to pay my bills?
No, and you never will. Haven Comply is deliberately built so that it never receives, holds or transfers client funds. We prepare each payment instruction and you approve it; JCCSmart, a licensed Cypriot payment operator, executes it from your account directly to the biller. This is confirmed by written legal opinion.
I already have a property manager. Do I need this too?
Most likely yes, and the two do not overlap. Property managers handle guests, keys and cleaning. Ask to see the clause in your management contract that assigns them liability for licensing and tax compliance — in every contract we have seen, that liability is explicitly excluded. Haven Comply covers what they contractually do not.
Can I not just file the licence myself?
You can — the forms are public. The registration is only one piece. What makes compliance difficult from abroad is everything around it: the annual tax return, the VAT threshold, bills that need a Cypriot bank account, and a renewal that generates no reminder from the Ministry. Most owners who handle it alone get through the first filing and lose track of the rest.
How much is the government licence fee, and how often is it due?
The fee is €222. The initial licence runs for three years; each renewal after that runs for five, and costs €222 again. It is payable to the Deputy Ministry of Tourism, not to Haven Comply — we never mark it up and it never passes through our accounts. We track the renewal date and tell you before the payment falls due, which is the part owners abroad usually miss.
What happens if I cancel?
The subscription is monthly and you can stop at any time. Your licence stays yours — it is issued in your name, not ours. We hand over your document archive and the payment register on request. The setup fee is not refundable once the dossier has been filed, and the government licence fee, once paid to the authorities, is not recoverable through us.
Is the platform actually built?
Not yet, and we would rather say so. The subscription service starts in January 2027 and is operated by people: filings prepared, bills prepared for payment through JCCSmart, monthly reports sent as PDFs. The self-service dashboard is planned for the same launch; nothing in the service itself depends on it.
