Question Title Has Malta’s accession to the European Union affected the fiscal advantages of International Trading Companies.
The only result so far of Malta’s EU accession to the legislation affecting International Trading Companies is the removal of the Proviso to Section 2 of the Value Added Tax Act 1998 whereby such companies were considered NOT ESTABLISHED IN MALTA since they were neither owned by nor permitted to trade with Malta residents.

The effect of this amendment has resulted in such ITCs becoming subject to the VAT legislation of Malta, i.e. they can be charged VAT on products and services provided to them and at the same time they have to charge VAT on services rendered to other ITCs.

Since such VAT suffered is considered as being related to the company’s businesses, such companies also have a right to claim full set off against OUTPUT tax or, if this is not enough, they can claim refund of any balance not covered by their OUTPUT tax.

Further information on this subject can be found in our article Value Added Tax as Applicable to International Trading Companies
