- Malta has introduced a new 12% VAT rate as of 1 January 2024.
- The new rate applies to chartering activity under certain circumstances and some other services.
- The 12% rate applies to short-term leases of pleasure boats that do not exceed 5 weeks.
- The reduced rate only applies if the person has not leased the yacht for more than 5 weeks in the previous 12 months.
- If the current lease exceeds 5 weeks, the first 5 weeks will be subject to 12% VAT and the rest will be subject to the standard 18% VAT rate.
