Background Information

The VAT treatment of gaming supplies is regulated by guidelines issued by the Commissioner for Revenue back in 2017 and which came into effect as from 01 January 2018. Such guidelines, which according to the Malta VAT Act have the same effect as the regulations interpret the particularities of the supplies covered by the exemption as prescribed in the said Act.
The determination of the VAT treatment of gaming transactions may be quite complex and if such transactions are not correctly analysed may eventually represent offences in terms of the Malta VAT legislation and European VAT legislation.

Objectives of the session

In this seminar we will be analysing gaming transactions and supplies related to gambling with a view to determining the appropriate tax treatment and highlight any compliance obligations that may arise thereof. Practical examples will be used during the course of the session.

TOPICS ON THE AGENDA

• Nature of gaming transactions – Electronically Supplied Services or not?
• Place of Supply
• Exemptions
• Input VAT Recovery / Partial Attribution
• MOSS
• VAT Optimization Solutions – VAT Grouping

Target Audience

The training course is particularly suitable for professionals, tax advisors and practitioners working in the Gaming Sector or in VAT or who are pursuing or intend to pursue a career generally in taxation and specifically in the area of indirect taxation. This session may also be applicable to financial controllers and CFOs working in the Gaming Sector.
