Prepare this return with open-source skills

These skills are in the OpenAccountants repo. Add them to your AI agent and they handle the computation.

moving-to-malta-tax-residence.mdMT

Malta is one of Europe's quietest wealth-migration destinations: EU membership, English-language administration, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax, no personal exit tax, and a remittance-basis system where foreign capital gains are never taxed even when brought in. This Guide maps the residence routes (ordinary residence, GRP/TRP 15%, MPRP, HQP, nomad permit), the mechanics of remittance-basis living, and the short list of things Malta does tax.

mt-return-assembly.mdMT

Final orchestrator skill that assembles the complete Malta filing package for Malta-resident self-employed individuals and sole proprietors. Consumes outputs from all Malta content skills (malta-vat-return for Malta VAT, malta-income-tax for TA24, malta-ssc for Class 2 contributions, mt-estimated-tax for provisional tax) to produce a single unified reviewer package containing every worksheet, every form, every brief section, all cross-skill reconciliations, and the final action list with payment instructions, filing instructions, and next-year planning. This is the capstone skill that runs last and produces the final deliverable. MUST be loaded alongside all Malta content skills listed above. Malta full-year residents only. Self-employed individuals and sole proprietors only.

Use this skill whenever asked about Malta cryptocurrency or digital asset taxation. Trigger on phrases like "crypto tax Malta", "Bitcoin Malta", "DLT assets", "cryptocurrency gains", "crypto income Malta", "Binance Malta tax", "staking Malta", "mining income Malta", "NFT tax Malta", "Coinbase Malta", "Revolut crypto Malta", "token tax", "distributed ledger", "MFSA crypto", "DAC8", or any question about the income tax, capital gains, or VAT treatment of cryptocurrency, tokens, or digital assets for Malta tax residents or Malta-source crypto income. Covers the CfR DLT asset guidelines, classification of coins/tokens, trading vs investment distinction, VAT treatment, and DAC8 reporting. ALWAYS read this skill before touching any Malta crypto work.

malta-tax-optimization.mdMT

Use this skill whenever asked about reducing tax in Malta, tax planning, saving tax, optimizing tax, allowances, deductions the client might be missing, or any question about legal strategies to minimize income tax liability for self-employed individuals in Malta. Trigger on phrases like "reduce tax", "tax planning", "save tax", "optimize", "allowances", "deductions I'm missing", "pay less tax", "tax-efficient", "tax minimization", "how to lower my tax bill".

This is the REQUIRED entry point for the Malta self-employed tax workflow -- every other skill in the stack (malta-vat-return, malta-income-tax, malta-ssc, mt-estimated-tax, mt-return-assembly) depends on this skill running first to produce a structured intake package. Uses upload-first workflow -- the user dumps all their documents and the skill infers as much as possible before asking questions. Uses ask_user_input_v0 for structured questions instead of one-at-a-time prose. Built for speed. Malta full-year residents only; self-employed individuals and sole proprietors.
