TSIELEPIS TAX ACADEMY

The Tsielepis Tax Academy represents the educational arm of Costas Tsielepis & Co Ltd and was formed in 2024 to deliver high-end seminars and workshops on Direct Taxation.

Tax Seminars

The Academy is the result of years of training, followed by months of planning and preparation to offer direct taxation knowledge to tax advisors, tax officers working in tax administration, auditors, accountants, other professionals in the industry that deal with tax matters as well as to anyone who wishes to broaden and further sharpen their understanding of taxation.

The topics addressed by the Academy cover the tax aspects of specific areas of legislation and specific types of transactions or specific industries, offering attendees an unprecedented level of comprehension and specialisation on the subject matters.

Each seminar provides a detailed explanation of each tax topic with reference, where appropriate, to the EU and national legislations and relevant judgments. Numerous examples are used to ensure the fullest comprehension of the subject matter.

The courses are taught by Academy Lead Instructor, Nicolas Papapanayiotou, as well as guest tax experts from Cyprus and abroad.
