Revised VAT and Gaming Tax Frameworks Come into Effect Tomorrow
Malta's revised VAT and gaming tax frameworks, introduced through Legal Notices 84 and 86 of 2026, take effect on 1 October 2026. The changes clarify VAT treatment and place of supply rules for certain gaming services, allow recovery of eligible input VAT where applicable, simplify gaming tax rates for qualifying activities offered to players present in Malta, and consolidate gaming tax and device levy into a single structure. Reporting portal arrangements and submission deadlines for September and October 2026 are specified.
