Rental invoice generator for Malta landlords
Create a Malta rent invoice or receipt for a residential or commercial property, with property address, tenant, rental period, rent, deposit and any charges on separate lines.
Malta treats residential and commercial lettings very differently. Residential letting is generally exempt from VAT, with a flat 15% final withholding tax on gross rental income instead — while letting commercial property to a VAT-registered business can instead be taxed at the standard 18% VAT.
What to include on a Malta rental invoice
- Landlord name, address and tax number.
- Tenant name, property address and rental period.
- Rent amount, deposit and any service charges.
- VAT treatment: exempt (residential) or 18% VAT (taxable commercial let to a VAT-registered business).
Residential letting: VAT-exempt, 15% final withholding tax
Letting immovable property for residential use is generally exempt without credit from VAT — no VAT is charged and the landlord cannot recover input VAT on related costs. Instead, a flat 15% final withholding tax applies to gross rental income for both individuals and companies.
Since 1 January 2020, private residential lease contracts for primary-residence purposes must be registered with the Housing Authority within 10 days of the lease starting. Registering a long lease (2+ years) can reduce the effective withholding rate, and leases to the same tenant for 7+ years under a Housing Authority scheme may drop the rate to 5%.
Commercial letting: when 18% VAT applies instead
When a limited liability company lets commercial property to another Article 10 VAT-registered business for that business's economic activity, the letting falls outside the exemption and is taxed at the standard 18% VAT, letting the landlord recover input VAT on construction, fit-out or running costs. Short lets of commercial property of 30 days or less are also generally chargeable at 18%.
