## Service Description

Employing staff in Malta means navigating specific legal requirements: JobsPlus registration, tax department filings, monthly FS5 returns, and correct social security contributions. Mistakes or late filings lead to penalties – and waste internal resources you could use elsewhere.

Our payroll service covers the entire process. We register your staff with the relevant authorities, generate monthly payslips, submit all tax returns on time, and handle employee queries. Through our digital portal, you and your team have 24/7 access to payslips, leave requests, and documents.

Whether you are building a local team, employing international staff remotely from Malta, or running a growing company without a dedicated HR department: we ensure your payroll complies with Maltese regulations – so you don't have to worry about the details.

### What we handle

- **Authority Registration** – Registering the company and employees with JobsPlus, the Commissioner for Revenue, and social security. We coordinate all necessary documents and deadlines.
- **Monthly Payroll** – Creation and distribution of payslips to your staff, including calculation of tax, social security contributions, and bonuses.
- **FS5 Tax Returns** – Calculation and timely submission of monthly FS5 reports to the Maltese tax authorities.
