BACKGROUND INFORMATION

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. Understanding the VAT treatment of gaming transactions can be quite complex. Failing to accurately analyse such transactions may lead to potential violations of the Malta VAT legislation and European VAT legislation.
