    Why Maltese Retailers Need EXO Number?

    An EXO number is not just a nice to have - it's a legal requirement for any retail business in Malta using a computerized POS system. The EXO number, which appears on every receipt alongside your VAT number, certifies that your system is approved by the VAT Department for processing VAT-compliant sales transactions.


    If your business operates multiple retail outlets, it’s important to note that each location must obtain its own EXO number, even if they share the same VAT number. This ensures that all your retail operations are recognized individually by the VAT Department and remain compliant with their standards.

    FAQ

    How long does it take to get an EXO number from the Maltese VAT Department?

    There is no fixed timeline for receiving an EXO number from the Maltese VAT Department, as processing times may vary. Based on our experience, the EXO number application process can in some extreme cases take up to a month but on average it can be done in less than two weeks. 

    If a business changes its address, will it need a new EXO number and Zoho Supplier's Certificate?

    Based on our discussions with the Maltese VAT Department, if your business address changes from the one specified in your original EXO number application, you will need to reapply for a new EXO number. However, we are happy to provide a new Zoho Books Supplier's Certificate at no additional cost.
