BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC  provides for various VAT exemptions which are transposed into the Fifth Schedule to the Maltese VAT Act Cap.406 of the Laws of Malta applicable to particular supplies of goods and services. The session will focus on the main VAT exemptions primarily:

• Exemptions with credit,

• Exemptions  Without Credit

• Exempt Intra community Acquisitions

• Exempt importation

During the session we will discuss mainly the conditions and respective criteria which need to be satisfied in order for such exemptions to apply including the effect on the right of refund too. The importance is primarily two-fold; on one side one needs to ensure that the exemptions are only applied when all the applicable conditions are satisfied, hence avoiding under declaring any output VAT (with the respective implications of penalties and interest). On the other hand it is equally important to be aware of the applicability of the exemptions, which if not identified in a  timely manner might lead to the un-necessary imposition of VAT when not essentially required, hence potentially leading to over-charging on certain supplies with the respective implications on competitiveness.  

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Background Information

• Exemptions with credit

• Exemptions  Without Credit

• Exempt Intra Community Acquisitions

• Exempt Importations

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Target Audience

This course is ideal both to experienced personnel (directors, accountants, lawyers, financial professionals, accounting students, financial staff) who have been working in VAT for a number of months/years, who may need to brush up their technical knowledge or fill in certain gaps and clarify certain issues relating to VAT Exemptions. It is also ideal for newcomers in the respective sectors who have an opportunity to get a very good theoretical and practical understanding of the main applicable VAT Exemptions and how (and when) these are applied in practice.
