The Challenges of VAT for Businesses
Whether you’re a thriving company or just starting out, VAT has far-reaching implications:

• Registration and De-registration: Determining thresholds and managing VAT registration can be confusing, raising risks of delays or even inadvertent non-compliance.
• Complex Calculations: The varying VAT rates applicable to different goods and services demand careful tracking to avoid potential overpayments or underpayments.
• Cross-Border Transactions: The EU’s complex VAT rules surrounding inter-country transactions increase the need for specialist knowledge and meticulous record-keeping.
• Changing Regulations: Staying current with Maltese and EU VAT updates is essential to avoid costly penalties, missed deadlines, and operational disruptions.
• Rectifying Errors: VAT errors can lead to significant financial loss and regulatory scrutiny. Self-correcting past mistakes often involves complex procedural steps.
