- Malta’s tax agency has issued guidance on the application of a 12-percent VAT rate on credit-related financial services.
- The rate applies to supplies where the tax becomes chargeable on or after January 1, 2024.
- The reduced rate does not affect exempt supplies listed in the Value-Added Tax Act.
- Credit management services and credit guarantees granted by the same entity remain exempt from VAT.
- The definition of “credit and credit guarantees” remains the same for VAT exemption purposes.
