Receiving only, no supplier mandate. Cyprus's B2G e-invoicing is a receiving capability — public entities must accept e-invoices, but suppliers are not required to send them. The ARIADNI portal and Peppol network are available channels. A B2G supplier mandate was proposed in 2022 but not implemented due to ERP readiness concerns. Processing within government is currently manual.
