Whereas:
(1) Under Article 387 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Malta may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in points 8 and 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2) In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 4 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Malta has requested authorisation from the Commission to use fixed percentages of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in points 8 and 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Malta has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Malta should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using fixed percentages in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Malta is authorised to use 0,40 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 8 of Annex X, Part B, (supply of water) to Directive 2006/112/EC.
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Malta is authorised to use 1,06 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B, (passenger transport) to Directive 2006/112/EC.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta.

(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
