The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between the Republic of Cyprus and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was signed on Monday, the 8th of May 2017 in Nicosia.

The double tax avoidance agreement is waiting ratification and is expected to come into force as from the 01/01/2018 upon ratification by both parties.
