Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Insurance and other financial services are two thriving sectors of the Maltese economy which give rise to numerous transactions carried out by Maltese and foreign entities involved in these sectors. Such transactions trigger Maltese VAT implications including registration, compliance, chargeability, filing and other implications. Hence it is of utmost importance that one is aware of any Maltese VAT implications arising from such transactions to take the appropriate actions in a timely and correct manner. Failure to do so might prove to be costly resulting in potential incorrect pricing, under/over declaration of output/input VAT, late registrations/invoicing/filing and other implications.
The objective of the session is to identify the main provisions in the Maltese VAT Act Cap.406 of the Laws of Malta and the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC applicable to these sectors and discuss the correct way such provisions are to interpreted from a Maltese VAT perspective. To do so, apart from the respective legislations, reference will also be made to relevant CJEU Cases, VAT Department Guidelines, Council Implementing Regulations, and other relevant literature.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Background Information (inc. Transaction types: Domestic vs Cross Border Transactions)
Taxable Person (inc. funds, holding companies, directorships,)
Goods or Services (inc. disbursements/recharge of costs)
Place of supply (inc. B2B vs B2C, Exceptions vs General Rules)
VAT Exemptions (inc. conditions to be satisfied)
VAT Chargeability (inc. Reverse Charge Mechanism)
Right of Refund
VAT Registration Obligations (Arts 10, 11, 12 and VAT Grouping)

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Attendance is encouraged for participants to understand when VAT is due to be charged or not due to the applicability of particular VAT Exemptions (hence avoiding charging/self-charging VAT when there is an opportunity not to) and at the same time making sure that VAT Exemptions are not interpreted and applied incorrectly as it might prove to be costly. More importantly, the session will explain the theoretical basis and the respective practical implementation of the VAT treatment to be applied for such services enabling the participants to understand which are those factors/provisions which determine the VAT treatment any why. As always, active participation and questions from participants are encouraged and will be tackled and answered during the session itself making the session more useful and relevant for all those attending.

Target Audience

This course is ideal both for experienced personnel (directors, accountants, lawyers, financial professionals, accounting students, financial staff) who have been working in the sectors 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 certain transactions) as well as newcomers in the respective sectors (who have an opportunity to get a very good theoretical and practical understanding of the main applicable VAT concepts) .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Payroll in Malta keeps evolving — and the margin for error keeps shrinking. This session provides a comprehensive and up-to-date walkthrough of Maltese payroll compliance, from structuring pay packages correctly through to FSS submission.
Whether you process payroll daily or oversee it as part of a broader role, this session will bring you up to speed on the latest legislative changes, reinforce the fundamentals that still catch practitioners out, and prepare you for what's on the horizon.

Specific topics to be covered during the sessioN

• Pay package structuring: salary, allowances, benefits and what can and cannot be deducted
• Leave entitlements, overtime rules and Wage Regulation Order obligations
• 2026 updates: revised tax bands and the introduction of the new parent rates, new SSC rates, Urgent Family Leave, equal pay, and mandatory bank payments for third-country nationals
• Income tax and social security calculations — worked examples
• FSS submission: common errors, validation checks and the move toward real-time reporting
• Auto-enrolment pensions and what employers need to prepare for in 2026

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Payroll compliance sits at the intersection of employment law, tax and financial reporting — making it directly relevant to accountants whether they process payroll themselves, oversee it on behalf of clients, or sign off on related submissions. Malta's payroll landscape has seen meaningful legislative change in 2025 alone, with updates to income tax bands, SSC rates, leave entitlements and employer obligations for specific categories of worker. Errors in payroll — whether in calculations, deductions or FSS submissions — carry financial, legal and reputational consequences for both the employer and their adviser. This session ensures members are current, compliant and confident in an area where the cost of getting it wrong falls squarely on the professionals involved.

Target Audience

Accountants and accounting professionals who handle payroll in-house or in practice on behalf of clients, bureau staff, HR professionals working alongside finance teams, and practitioners who need a structured annual update on Maltese payroll obligations. Suitable for both those processing payroll regularly and those with oversight or sign-off responsibilities.

Location

Registration Time: 09:00

Speaker: Mr Jonathan Mifsud

Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

AI is already changing how payroll professionals work — but most of the conversation is either hype or fear. This session cuts through both.
Through live demonstrations, attendees will see how tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can be applied to real payroll tasks today — and where the boundaries of safe, compliant use lie.

Specific topics to be covered during the sessioN

An honest overview of AI tools available and their limitations for payroll work
Practical demonstrations: cleaning client data, drafting communications, and summarising legislative updates
Live demo: using AI to extract structured employee information from unstructured client emails
Understanding the API concept — what's possible without writing a single line of code
GDPR obligations when using AI with payroll and employee data
Vendor AI vs building your own: what to consider before either
What to expect from AI in payroll over the next two years

WHY SHOULD MEMBERS ATTEND THIS CPE EVENT?

AI tools are increasingly being used across accounting and finance practices — often informally, without clear guidance on where they can be applied safely and where they cannot. For payroll specifically, the stakes are high: the data involved is personal, often sensitive, and subject to GDPR. Members who understand how to use these tools effectively and responsibly will be better placed to improve efficiency in their practice, provide more responsive client service, and advise clients who are asking the same questions. Equally, members who are unaware of the risks — particularly around data handling and over-reliance on AI outputs — are exposed. This session gives members the practical knowledge to make informed decisions rather than either avoiding AI entirely or adopting it without appropriate safeguards.

Target audience

Accountants, payroll practitioners and bureau professionals who want a grounded, practical introduction to AI tools in the context of their day-to-day work. No technical background is required. Equally relevant to those who have already started experimenting with AI tools and want to understand the compliance and security boundaries, and to those who are yet to start and want to know where to begin.

Retired Members: €20.00

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Cross Border Transactions and International Trade often give rise to new situations/scenarios wherein a differentiating factor may trigger a change in the VAT treatment adopted in similar past transactions. In this respect it often happens that one is not fully aware as to which is the correct VAT Treatment to be adopted in such situations, keeping in mind also the VAT treatment being adopted by the involved parties in other countries and EU Member states.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

The scope of the session is to first give an overview of the main types of cross border transactions that may exist (Part 1 - ICS/ICAs/Triangulation, Imports/Exports, Distance Sales, Part 2 - EU cross border supplies of services including tele-communications, Broadcasting and Electronically Supplied Services, Non-EU Supplies of Services etc.) and their respective VAT treatment. We will also identify the questions which need to be answered, which criteria need to be satisfied, and the procedure which needs to be adopted in each case to arrive at the appropriate VAT Treatment. We will also discuss the concept of Reverse Charge Mechanism and how it is to be applied and how such cross-border transactions are to be declared in the local VAT Forms (VAT Returns, Recapitulative Statements, Intrastat Forms, Forms 04 etc.)

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Part 1 - Goods
VAT Basics of International Trade – Goods & Services
VAT Treatment – Cross Border Supplies of Goods
Declaration in Maltese VAT Forms and Compliance obligations
Practical Examples
Part 2 - Services
VAT Treatment – Cross Border Supplies of Services
Declaration in Maltese VAT Forms and Compliance obligations
Practical Examples

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

The scope of this session is to explain in a user friendly manner the thought process how one determines the correct VAT treatment of cross border transactions. It will start off with refreshing the VAT basics which are fundamental in order to arrive at the correct VAT treatment and moves on to tackling the vast majority of cross border transactions by means of practical examples explaining; how and why a particular VAT treatment was arrived at, the respective VAT implications and how this is to be declared in the VAT Return and other applicable VAT forms. As always, active participation and questions from participants are encouraged and will be tackled and answered during the session itself making the session more useful and relevant for all those participants .

Target Audience

Accounting Practitioners and other accounting staff dealing with the vat treatment of international trade and cross border transactions and with VAT Returns preparation

M26038 - Accounting for government grants (Online)

13:30 - 16:45
Location
Online Webinar

Register

Registration Time: 13:15
Sessions Time: 13: 30 - 16:45 including a 15-minute break
Speaker: Mr Paul Zammit
Venue: Online Webinar

Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Government grants are a common feature in the Maltese business environment, particularly for small and medium-sized entities operating in manufacturing, services, tourism and other supported sectors. While such assistance often provides essential financial support, the accounting treatment is not always straightforward and requires careful judgment.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, government grants are primarily addressed by IAS 20 ‘Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance’, while GAPSME includes its own requirements that are largely aligned in principle with IFRS, except for some specific cases.
This session aims to provide participants with a structured and practical understanding of how government grants should be accounted for under both frameworks, focusing not only on the technical requirements but also on the professional judgements that arise in practice.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Definition and scope of government grants and government assistance
Accounting for grants related to income
Accounting for grants related to assets
Presentation in the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss
Disclosure requirements under both frameworks
Key differences between IFRS and GAPSME
Common practical issues and pitfalls encountered in practice

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Government grants can have a material impact on an entity’s financial performance and financial position. Incorrect recognition or presentation may lead to misleading results, regulatory scrutiny, or audit challenges.
This session will help members strengthen their technical understanding of the applicable standards while developing the confidence to apply judgement in real-life scenarios. Participants will benefit from practical insights into how government grants are assessed, recognised, and explained in financial statements prepared under IFRS and GAPSME, supporting higher-quality financial reporting and more robust professional decision-making.

Target Audience

Practicing accountants, auditors, finance professionals, and other practitioners involved in the preparation, review, or interpretation of financial statements under IFRS or GAPSME. Accounting students may also find this session beneficial.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

MiFID II/MiFIR established a harmonised EU/EEA passporting framework that enables authorised investment firms to provide services and carry out investment activities across borders, either on a services basis or through branches, under a streamlined home/host supervisory model. For Malta-based firms, notifications are submitted via the MFSA as the home competent authority, facilitating access to other EU/EEA markets without duplicative licensing processes. The regime continues to develop through ESMA guidance and supervisory practice, including areas such as reverse solicitation, cross border marketing conduct, the use of tied agents, the post Brexit third country landscape, and ongoing supervisory expectations. This session unpacks the legal framework and provides insight into its practical execution, including operational steps, governance controls, and documentation standards that advisors, and compliance professionals can apply when supporting clients wishing to expand cross border or reviewing passported operations. Attendees will gain a structured understanding of the rules and current regulatory expectations, with an emphasis on implementation in day to day practice.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Legal foundations and scope
• Passporting mechanics
• Ongoing requirements and controls
• Special topics and current developments
• Case studies/practical examples

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

This session is intended to equip attendees to support compliant, efficient expansion across EU/EEA markets. Regulatory requirements are translated into execution, covering the operational, conduct, reporting, and governance obligations that apply once operating cross‑border. It will incorporate current supervisory insights, including reverse solicitation and post‑Brexit third‑country considerations, alongside real‑world case studies, ensuring attendees leave with concrete checklists and control frameworks.

Target Audience

The session is best suited for legal and regulatory professionals in Malta, and advisors to investment firms who are directly involved in regulatory compliance, legal structuring, operational management, risk assessment, and cross-border business development. It will also benefit consultants, and auditors supporting regulated entities, as well as students studying law, regulation or policy.

These features have positioned Malta as a competitive maritime hub.
The session will also examine how subsequent amendments—particularly those introduced in 2010—expanded the regime to cover ship management and wider chartering arrangements, leading to a European Commission State aid investigation in 2012. The presentation will outline the Commission’s 2017–2018 decision and the twenty five commitments Malta implemented through L.N. 127 and 128 of 2018, including vessel eligibility restrictions, EEA flag link requirements, limitations on ancillary revenues and the removal of certain tax and duty exemptions.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Beyond the MTTS, the presentation will discuss international tax rules relevant to shipping (including Article 8 OECD Model), the EU Pillar 2 shipping carve out and key Maltese VAT exemptions for vessels, ship related services and chartering.

Management accounts provide business owners with timely, decision‑focused financial insight that goes far beyond the statutory accounts required for compliance.

Effective management reporting highlights trends, variances, and emerging risks, helping owners make informed choices on pricing, staffing, investment, and cost control. Because these reports are tailored to the specific needs of the business, they become a practical tool for steering strategy, monitoring progress against targets, and ensuring that day‑to‑day decisions align with long‑term goals. In essence, management accounts act as a bridge between financial information and business action, empowering owners to run their companies with clarity, confidence, and agility

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• The Role and Purpose of Management Accounts

• Understanding the Needs of Business Owners

• Core Components of Effective Management Accounts

• Key Management Account Reports to Business Owners

• Business Performance Indicators - KPIs

• Case Studies

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

This session is relevant to both members and non‑members because it strengthens their ability to interpret financial results with clarity, communicate insights in a way business owners can act on, and apply management reporting as a practical tool for improving profitability, managing cash flow, and guiding the business with greater confidence and control.

Target Audience

This session is designed for business owners, managers, and finance professionals who need to understand, prepare, or communicate management accounts in a way that supports clear, informed decision‑making.

M26056 - Asset Impairment: Principles, Judgement And Practical Application Under IFRS And GAPSME (Online)

When
24 Jul 2026
09:15 - 12:30
Location
Online Webinar

Register

Registration Time: 09:00
Sessions Time: 09:15 - 12:30 including a 15-minute break
Speaker: Mr Paul Zammit
Venue: Online Webinar

Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Assets recognised in the statement of financial position are expected to generate economic benefits for the entity in the future. However, circumstances may arise where the carrying amount of an asset is no longer recoverable due to changes in market conditions, technological developments, operational performance, or other internal and external factors.
IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ establishes the principles that entities must follow to ensure that assets are not carried at amounts higher than their recoverable amount. The standard requires entities to assess whether there are indicators that assets may be impaired and, where necessary, estimate the recoverable amount of those assets. In a few specific instances, such estimation is made annually and irrespective of whether there are indicators of impairment.
Similar principles are also included in GAPSME, meaning that impairment assessments are relevant for a wide range of entities operating in the Maltese business environment.
This session aims to provide participants with a structured and practical understanding of the impairment framework under IAS 36 and the equivalent requirements in GAPSME. The focus will be on understanding how impairment indicators are assessed, how recoverable amounts are determined, and how impairment losses are recognised and presented in financial statements.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

The following topics will be covered during this three-hour CPE (not necessarily in the below order):

Overview and objectives of IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’
Indicators of impairment and when an impairment test is required
Determining the recoverable amount of an asset
Value in use and fair value less costs of disposal
Identification and testing of cash-generating units
Allocation of impairment losses to assets within a cash-generating unit
Reversal of impairment losses and the related limitations
Special considerations relating to goodwill and intangible assets
Common practical issues encountered when applying impairment assessments

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Impairment assessments often involve significant judgement and estimation, particularly when determining future cash flows, discount rates, and the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units. Incorrect impairment assessments may lead to assets being overstated in financial statements, potentially resulting in misleading financial information or audit challenges.
This session will help members strengthen their understanding of the impairment framework while developing greater confidence in performing or delegating impairment assessments in practice. Participants will gain practical insights into how impairment indicators are evaluated, how recoverable amounts are calculated, and how impairment losses should be recognised and disclosed in financial statements prepared under IFRS and GAPSME.

Target Audience

Practicing accountants, auditors, finance professionals, and other practitioners involved in the preparation, review, or interpretation of financial statements prepared under IFRS or GAPSME. Accounting students and professionals wishing to strengthen their understanding of impairment principles may also find this session beneficial.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Maltese VAT Act provides for various punitive measures (penalties, interest, assessments etc.) for failing to adhere with the various provisions of the Maltese VAT Act. Whilst awareness of normal VAT risks is quite common, it often happens that one is not fully aware of other equally material VAT risks especially in new/one-off scenarios when one comes across new transactions, new client types, new set-ups, new companies, incorrect/late VAT returns, incorrect/late invoices, VAT inspections and similar situations.
The scope of the session is to first analyse in detail the main VAT risks which might lead to negative consequences if the applicable VAT provisions are not fulfilled. The session will then proceed with identifying which consequences (penalties/interest/assessments) are applicable when the relevant VAT provisions are not adhered to and why (including references to the various parts of the legislation which list down when such consequences are triggered and the applicable conditions). Finally, the session will discuss practical tips and actions which may be taken by involved parties with a view to ensure that such VAT risks are minimised as much as possible.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• VAT Risks (including risks pertaining to VAT Treatment, VAT Registrations, VAT Claimability, VAT Forms etc.)
• VAT Consequences (Penalties, Interest, Assessments)
• Practical Tips and Actions to minimise such VAT risks

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

The scope of this session is to explain in a user friendly manner the implications that might apply in case of non-compliance with the various VAT provisions.

Finally, the session will discuss practical tips and actions which may be taken by involved parties with a view to ensure that such VAT risks are minimised as much as possible.
