# Malta — Peppol BIS B2G mandate (B2B voluntary)

Compliance · 🇲🇹 Malta Live mandate

# Malta — Peppol BIS B2G mandate (B2B voluntary)

Peppol BIS B2G live since 2019 · No B2B mandate yet — regulator: [Commissioner for Revenue (CFR)](<https://cfr.gov.mt>). _Facts last refreshed: 2026-07-13._

Coverage model

Flowie operates a registered Peppol Access Point in this jurisdiction **directly** where we hold national accreditation, **or via a vetted local partner** registered with the in-country regulator where on-the-ground presence is required (KSeF, SDI intermediario, ZATCA service-provider, etc.). Either way, you call the same `POST /v1/documents/send`. 

## TL;DR

  * Malta transposed the EU directive with a **Peppol BIS B2G mandate** from 2019.
  * **No B2B mandate** ; CFR has indicated alignment with EU ViDA rather than a national-only ramp.
  * Flowie is a registered Peppol AP.
