Running your own business in Malta comes with incredible rewards: you shape your future, establish your personal brand, and have control over decision-making. But while you may excel in your business area, managing payroll can be a complex and time-consuming process that requires specific expertise.
In Malta, businesses have two main options for handling payroll: implementing payroll software to manage it in-house or outsourcing payroll services to an expert provider. Which approach is best for you depends on your business size, structure, and budget. If you’re looking to streamline your payroll and ensure accuracy, you’ve come to the right place.
Payroll refers to the process of managing employee wages, tax deductions, and benefits. For businesses in Malta, this includes calculating gross and net pay, deducting national insurance (NI) contributions, social security payments, and tax, and ensuring compliance with Maltese employment laws. Additionally, you must handle other statutory requirements, like the Final Settlement System (FSS) and issuing appropriate payslips.
Managing payroll for a small business can seem straightforward at first, but the complexity grows as your workforce expands. Whether it’s full-time employees or part-time staff, compliance with Malta’s legal framework is essential, and mistakes can be costly.
A few common payroll risks faced by Maltese businesses include human errors, data security threats and data loss, and non-compliance with Maltese laws. But outsourcing payroll is a smart move for many local businesses due to cost efficiency, expertise and accuracy, data security, compliance and scalability.
