DownloadOverall Score
2020
Cyprus scores slightly higher than the global average, but below the average score of countries in its region and income group. Cyprus would benefit from making improvements to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Cyprus scores in the mid-range in the cigarette price, tax share, and tax structure components, but poorly in affordability change. Cyprus would benefit from increasing cigarette prices, significantly reducing cigarette affordability, increasing tax share of price, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Cyprus's overall scores decreased from 2014 to 2020 because there was a failure to reduce cigarette affordability over time and the tax share of price decreased.
