E-Invoicing in Malta — Peppol-ready before the mandate

As of June 2026: no B2B e-invoicing mandate; B2G is handled through Peppol (public bodies must accept EN 16931 e-invoices), and a phased B2B roll-out plus digital real-time reporting are planned ahead of the EU ViDA timeline. Confirm the current rules with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA, formerly the Commissioner for Revenue).

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Malta?

No. Malta has no general B2B e-invoicing mandate yet. In the B2G space, public contracting authorities must be able to receive and process electronic invoices that comply with the European standard EN 16931, exchanged over the Peppol network, but suppliers are not forced to send them. Malta has signalled a phased move toward B2B e-invoicing and digital real-time reporting in its pre-budget plans, aligning with the EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) reforms expected to bring mandatory intra-EU B2B e-invoicing and reporting around 2030. For now, structured e-invoicing in Malta is voluntary and based on mutual agreement between the parties.

E-Invoicing in Malta —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q01

Is B2B e-invoicing mandatory in Malta in 2026?

No. As of June 2026 there is no mandatory B2B e-invoicing requirement in Malta. Businesses may exchange structured electronic invoices voluntarily when both parties agree. Always confirm the latest position with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration.

Q02

What about invoicing the Maltese government (B2G)?

Maltese public contracting authorities are required to receive and process electronic invoices that comply with the European standard EN 16931, typically via the Peppol network. Suppliers are encouraged — but not generally compelled — to issue them. Invotify's Pro e-invoice export produces Peppol BIS 3.0 and UBL 2.1 for exactly this.

Q03

Which e-invoice format does Malta use?

Malta has adopted the European standard EN 16931 and uses Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (UBL) without national extensions. Invotify exports Peppol BIS 3.0 and UBL 2.1 on the Pro plan, so your invoices meet the Maltese profile out of the box.

Q04

When will Malta require B2B e-invoicing?

No firm B2B date is fixed yet. Malta has outlined a phased approach to e-invoicing and digital real-time reporting, expected to converge with the EU's ViDA reforms (mandatory intra-EU B2B e-invoicing and reporting around 2030). Confirm timing with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration.

Q05

Can Invotify help me get ready now?

Yes. Invotify's Pro plan exports Peppol BIS 3.0, UBL 2.1 and CII today, so you can invoice Maltese public bodies and EU partners in compliant formats immediately and avoid a last-minute migration when a B2B mandate or ViDA reporting arrives.
