Minimal requirements. Malta has a receiving-only B2G capability with no supplier mandate. The NEIP (National e-Invoicing Platform) and Peppol network are available but optional for suppliers. No national CIUS — standard Peppol/EN 16931 applies. Malta's 24.2% VAT gap is driving interest in future digital transformation, but no concrete B2B timeline exists.
