einvoice-preflight had 31 country pages and no Malta. Most of them describe a date. This one describes an absence, which is also what people search for.
What the Commission's country sheets and vendor guides say: domestic B2B e-invoicing in Malta is voluntary. Public bodies must be able to receive EN 16931 invoices, the committee chose Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, and the legal basis is Legal Notices 403 and 404 of 2018. The tax authority has reportedly said it wants mandatory e-invoicing and real-time reporting, but no guide found gives a date. The first fixed date is the EU-wide 1 July 2030.
What they disagree on: whether public bodies had to be ready in 2020 or 2021, and whether suppliers must send e-invoices at all (most say no; one vendor says yes). The page states both and states no penalty, because none was found.
What was not read: the legal notices and the Malta Tax and Customs Administration. The Commission and vendor hosts were unreachable from the build container, so every fact comes from search excerpts and is labelled so. The checker has no Maltese rules, and the page says that a clean result means "passes EN 16931 and Peppol", not "accepted in Malta".
