The double tax treaty between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Latvia will strengthen the economic and commercial relations between the two countries. The Treaty was signed by the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Cyprus, Harris Georgiades, and the Minister of Economics of the Republic of Latvia, Dana Reizniece-Ozola, in Brussels on 24 April 2016.

The Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Government of the Republic of Cyprus concluded an Agreement for the avoidance of double taxation with respect to taxes on income, based on the OECD Model Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation on Income and on Capital. The double taxation treaty between Cyprus and Bahrain will strengthen the economic and commercial relationships between the two countries.

The treaty entered into force on 26 April 2016 and it applies to individuals who are residents of Cyprus or Bahrain. The Agreement also applies to individuals who reside in both countries. According to article 2, of the Agreement, the Cyprus taxes include the income tax, the corporate income tax, the special contribution for the defence and the capital gains.
