- Global VAT Compliance launched the 2026 Malta VAT Guide, a resource covering Malta’s VAT rules, registration, returns, invoicing, reverse charge, Intrastat/EC Sales List, and e-commerce compliance.
- Malta’s 2026 VAT rates include 18% standard, reduced rates of 12%, 7%, and 5%, plus zero-rated supplies and exempt supplies without input VAT recovery.
- Article 11 small-business thresholds allow certain local businesses to avoid charging VAT below specific turnover limits, while non-resident businesses must register immediately with a €0 threshold.
- Most VAT returns are filed quarterly, due one month and 15 days after the period ends, and VAT records/invoices must be kept for at least six years.
