Bank of Valletta p.l.c. - Internet Banking Procedure to settle your payment (www.bov.com)
	Internet Banking

	The VAT Department in collaboration with the two major commercial banks in Malta has introduced a new service to enable VAT registered persons to pay their VAT dues on-line. One may opt to use either the HSBC Malta internet banking service or else the Bank of Valletta p.l.c. 24x7 service. Through internet banking, no limit is imposed on any payment amount. Thus registered persons may effect the whole payment due to the VAT Department according to the VAT return of that particular tax period. Payment may be affected by logging in to your chosen Bank's Internet Banking site, keying in the VAT Registration Number (without 'MT' and dash '-'), the Period Start Date and the Amount to be paid for that particular tax period. Prior to effecting payment, please make sure that the Period Start Date is entered correctly. Any payment accompanied by an invalid Period Start Date would be directed to the earliest unsettled tax period. The VAT Department advises registered persons effecting such payments to print and retain the acknowledgement notice issued from the bank's website for any future reference.
