Event catering invoice generator for Malta
Create an invoice for wedding, corporate or event catering in Malta with the event date, venue, guest count, service style, deposit received and VAT.
The VAT rate for catering/restaurant services in Malta is a genuinely disputed point online — this generator defaults to the standard 18% rate as the safer, better-evidenced option (see below), rather than a confidently-stated but unverified reduced rate.
What a Malta catering invoice should include
- Caterer name, address, VAT number (if Article 10-registered) and payment details.
- Event date, venue, guest count and service style (buffet, plated, drop-off).
- Menu items, staffing, equipment rental and delivery/setup fees on separate lines.
- Deposit received, shown as a negative line so the balance due is clear.
- VAT — see the note below on why this defaults to the standard 18% rate.
VAT: a genuinely disputed rate — treated with caution
Several secondary/SEO sources claim a 7% VAT rate for dine-in catering (18% for takeaway), but this could not be corroborated against primary legislation. The Eighth Schedule's 7% reduced-rate item appears to cover only "tourist accommodation" and "sporting facilities" — no restaurant/catering line item was found. Separately, one source states the 0% rate for food explicitly excludes "restaurant catering," which points toward catering food defaulting to the standard rate rather than a reduced one.
A 2019 report describes caterers lobbying a political party to cut VAT to 7% — as of that reporting, 7% was an industry request, not the applicable rate, which further undermines the "7% for catering" claim as current fact.
This tool defaults Malta catering invoices to the standard 18% VAT rate as the safer, better-evidenced choice. Reduced hospitality rates have been a live political topic in Malta — check current MTCA guidance before relying on any rate below 18% for catering or restaurant services.
