Invoicing in Malta — What Businesses Typically Include
The information below is a general overview of common invoicing practice in Malta. It is not legal or tax advice — for guidance specific to your business, consult an accountant or refer to the Commissioner for Revenue (CFR) directly at cfr.gov.mt.
VAT in Malta
Malta's standard VAT rate is 18% — the lowest standard rate in the EU. Reduced rates of 7% apply to accommodation services, and 5% applies to certain goods and services including printed matter, medical equipment, and certain cultural events. Zero-rating applies to exports and intra-Community supplies of goods. The Commissioner for Revenue (CFR) administers VAT in Malta. Businesses with annual turnover above €30,000 (services) or €35,000 (goods) are generally required to register for VAT.
VAT Number and Company Registration
Maltese businesses are registered with the Malta Business Registry (MBR) and issued a company registration number. VAT-registered businesses receive a Maltese VAT number in the format MT followed by 8 digits. This must appear on every tax invoice issued. For self-employed individuals and sole traders, your income tax and VAT registration is handled through the CFR directly.
What a Maltese VAT Invoice Must Include
A valid Maltese VAT invoice must contain: the words 'Tax Invoice', your name and address, your VAT registration number, a sequential invoice number, the date of the invoice, your customer's name and address, a description of the goods or services, the net amount, the VAT rate applied, the VAT amount, and the total amount including VAT. For simplified invoices under €150, fewer details are required.
Cross-Border EU Invoicing
As an EU member state, Malta follows EU VAT Directive rules for cross-border supplies. For B2B supplies to VAT-registered customers in other EU countries, the reverse charge mechanism typically applies — you issue a zero-VAT invoice quoting your customer's EU VAT number and annotate it with 'Reverse Charge'. For services supplied to non-EU clients, the supply is generally outside the scope of Maltese VAT. Malta's location as a digital nomad and iGaming hub means many businesses regularly invoice clients across the EU and beyond.

Questions from Maltese Users
Everything you need to know about using BooInvoice as a Maltese freelancer, self-employed professional, or small business
Can I add VAT to my Maltese invoices?
Yes. BooInvoice has a flexible tax field where you enter your own VAT rate. Malta's standard VAT rate is 18%, with reduced rates of 7% (accommodation), 5% (certain goods and services), and 0% for exports. Enter whichever rate applies and the invoice displays the VAT amount and totals accordingly.
What should a Maltese VAT invoice include?
A valid Maltese VAT invoice must include the words 'Tax Invoice', your business name and address, your VAT registration number, a sequential invoice number, the invoice date, your customer's name and address, a description of the supply, the net amount, the VAT rate and amount, and the total amount including VAT.
Is BooInvoice free for Maltese businesses?
Yes — completely free. You can create unlimited invoices, add your VAT number and company registration number, upload your logo, and download professional PDFs without paying anything.
Can I use BooInvoice as a self-employed person not registered for VAT?
Yes. If your annual turnover is below the Maltese VAT registration threshold (€30,000 for services, €35,000 for goods), you may be exempt from VAT registration. Simply enter 0% in the tax field or leave it empty.
Can I invoice clients across the EU and internationally?
Yes. BooInvoice supports EUR and many other currencies. For EU B2B supplies, the reverse charge mechanism may apply — meaning you issue a zero-VAT invoice and your EU client self-accounts for VAT in their own country. It's worth confirming the correct VAT treatment with an accountant for cross-border EU invoices.
