Accounting – What you need to know

Proper accounting is the backbone of any successful business in Malta. Our team manages and analyses your financial data comprehensively—from day-to-day bookkeeping and VAT compliance to preparing your annual financial statements. With digital workflows, automated deadline reminders, and direct liaison with your auditor, we ensure every obligation is met on time.

Our integrated document platform allows for the quick and secure exchange of receipts. You get a clear view of your financial position at any time—without getting bogged down in spreadsheets. This lets you focus on your core business while we keep a firm grip on your accounting and tax obligations.

For international entrepreneurs running a company in Malta, having professional local accounting is vital. It ensures adherence to Maltese regulations and forms the basis for annual accounts, VAT refunds, and smooth cooperation with auditors.

  • Entrepreneurs who want to outsource their accounting while ensuring maximum precision and compliance
  • International businesses and Malta companies subject to statutory bookkeeping requirements
  • Limited companies, partnerships, holdings, and sole traders in Malta
  • Clients using DW&P Corporate Services who prefer a fully integrated solution
  • Businesses requiring a digital, scalable accounting system
  • Startups and growing companies that prefer not to hire in-house accountants

Digital Document Platform: Personal access to the DW&P platform for secure uploading of all accounting records.

Automated Deadline Reminders: System-generated alerts for missing documents and upcoming deadlines—so nothing gets missed.

Ongoing Financial Accounting: Recording of all business transactions according to Maltese standards, monthly or quarterly.

Management Reports: Regular financial reports that give you a clear view of your business figures and help prepare for tax decisions.

VAT Returns: Preparation and timely submission of quarterly VAT returns, including payment instructions or refund applications.

Recapitulative Statements (EU Reporting): Preparation of all EU information reports for intra-community supplies, including Reverse Charge compliance checks.

Preparation of Annual Accounts: Drafting of preliminary accounts and journals, plus full handover to the auditor.

Liaison with Auditors and Authorities: Coordination of technical queries, support during audits, and smooth alignment with the auditor.

  • Years of experience supporting international companies and financial structures in Malta
  • Maximum accuracy through digitised, standardised accounting processes
  • Tailored, needs-based support rather than impersonal, bulk-processing accounting
  • A dedicated accounting team with deep understanding of Maltese tax and commercial law
  • Proactive monitoring of deadlines, VAT obligations, and compliance requirements
  • Direct collaboration with auditors, tax authorities, and the corporate teams within DW&P

How often should accounting be done?

We recommend monthly accounting so you always have transparency over your figures. If you are VAT registered, quarterly processing is the minimum legal requirement.

What documents do I need to provide?

Typically: incoming invoices, outgoing invoices, bank statements, credit card receipts, contracts, and other relevant documents. You upload everything digitally via our platform—simple and secure.

Who handles communication with auditors and authorities?

DW&P handles all communication—from the annual audit to VAT-related queries from Maltese authorities.

What happens if documents are missing?

Our system automatically reminds you of missing documents. Timely, transparent, and digital—ensuring your accounting never stalls.

Can I take accounting in-house later?

Yes. Many clients start with DW&P and later switch to their own accountants. We support the transition and ensure a clean handover.

How do foreign VAT refunds work?

We submit applications digitally via the Maltese VAT portal on your behalf. You don't need to worry about a thing.
