What is a VAT Permit?
A VAT Permit Number is an official approval from the tax authorities that allows a business or individual to issue VAT receipts using a third party platform. We noticed too many organisers struggling with VAT compliance requirements, so we built this simple solution to help everyone stay compliant without the headaches.
The Problem
Malta's tax law requires event organisers to notify MTCA before selling tickets online. Many organisers either don't know about this requirement or struggle with writing the correct email.
Our Solution
We removes all the guesswork. Just enter your event details, and we'll automatically generate an email for you to send to MTCA. It's that simple.
