VAT notice

The Commissioner for Revenue notifies that as from 1st September 2018, the VAT documents, (listed below),  are to be submitted through electronic forms. All relevant forms can be accessed from the CFR website using the below link;

Paper format VAT forms will not be accepted by the Department and will be returned.

Payments

The Office of the Commissioner for Revenue is currently undergoing changes within the amalgamation process of the VAT and Income Tax.  Some of these changes are being made to allow our customers more payment options. 

Payments Online

The improved service for online submissions and payments has been tailored to cater for all taxpayer segments and their related submissions/payments. One may submit payments online and an acknowledgement is automatically and instantly issued.  The new enhanced online portal can be accessed through https://cfr.gov.mt/en/onlinepayments/Pages/Online-Payments.aspx  or servizz.gov.mt

Work is ongoing to enhance the service and it is envisaged that more possibilities will be made available both online and at MaltaPost in the near future.  The following are the current options:

Income Tax payments

Payments are accepted at any MaltaPost branch ONLY when accompanied by the relative documents (I.e the payment slip with the barcode):

• Provisional Tax

• Provisional tax/Social Security Contribution
• Arrears _ Statement of accounts 
• Self Assessment Tax Return

The following payments are also accepted at MaltaPost:

• FSS payments together with the duly filled in FS5
• TA 23    Part Time Employed Form duly filled in up to the due date i.e.  31.12.2018

TA 22 and TA 24

The time frames for acceptance of the forms TA 22 and TA 24 are limited because these are final withholding taxes that have a specific time window during the year when they can be submitted and paid up.  In fact, the deadline for submission of forms TA 22 and TA 24 has already passed.  At this point, MaltaPost can no longer accept such payments and anyone who wishes to submit such document and payment must go to Blk 5 , Floriana, Office of the Commissioner for Revenue to be informed of interest incurred that needs to be fully paid up on submission of form.
