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

▪ OSS

▪ VAT Optimization Solutions – VAT Grouping
