Cyprus HE32 annual return — read the primary sources
Commercial search answers this claim class with service providers, not the Registrar. Contested deadlines are the signal, not a bug.
For Cyprus company annual-return questions, rank the Registrar and Cap. 113 text above corporate-service and law-firm guides. AGICY does not publish a filing deadline as legal advice. A live generative-search sample on 22 August 2026 returned 0/8 primary sources and four incompatible deadline claims — all commercially motivated.
What one live query actually returned
Query: “Cyprus company annual return filing requirement Registrar” against a production search-augmented engine (n = 1, hand-classified). Eight results, seven domains, age spread 728 days, no freshness signal shown to the reader.
- Primary sources: 0 / 8 — no companies.gov.cy, no Cap. 113 / cylaw text, no gazette instrument.
- Source classes: five corporate service providers, three law firms — every publisher sells the filing service the query asks about.
- Deadlines asserted: “28 days from preparation” (3), “28 days from AGM” (2), “28 days from drafting” (1), “14 days from AGM” (1 — the top-ranked result). Those formulations may or may not be the same legal rule; without a primary instrument the page cannot say.
Currency and correctness were near-orthogonal: a derived freshness window would have kept three of eight pages without improving accuracy. In this statutory class, source class separates the set; age alone does not.
Where the official instruments are
Start with the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property (companies.gov.cy) and the Companies Law Cap. 113 text (for example via cylaw.org). Service-provider blogs can be useful commentary; they are not the register.
Mis-filing consequences under Cap. 113 can include strike-off. That is why a fluent cited paragraph with the minority answer ranked first is not a safe substitute for the instrument.
How AGICY surfaces this without inventing an answer
The Registrar overlay’s Internet tab and the GEMI desk web fallback call /api/public/web-evidence: sourced rows with source-class labels, commercial-interest flags, and dates only when the page states one. No generated deadline. Greece’s G.E.ΜΗ. path is separate — see GEMI Open Data AI audit.

FAQ
What is the Cyprus company annual return (HE32)?
HE32 is the annual return filing associated with Cyprus companies under Companies Law Cap. 113. The official instrument and Registrar guidance sit with the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property — not with AGICY and not with commercial service blogs.
Why do search engines return conflicting filing deadlines?
A live statutory query in August 2026 returned eight commercial results, zero primary sources, and four mutually incompatible deadline formulations. Generative search that fuses those pages into one fluent answer hides the disagreement. AGICY’s public-web evidence labels source class and age instead of inventing a single deadline.
Is this the same as Greek GEMI?
No. Greece uses G.E.ΜΗ. / GEMI Open Data (arGEMI, AFM). Cyprus uses the Registrar of Companies (companies.gov.cy). AGICY’s GEMI desk is Greece-only; Cyprus filings are a different registrar.
