Tax Advantages when Living in Malta
Malta non-domiciled individuals living in Malta can benefit from the remittance basis of taxation. This means that they are taxed on Malta source income and certain gains arising in Malta but are not taxed on non-Malta source income not remitted to Malta. In addition, they are not taxed on capital gains, even if this income is remitted to Malta.
Depending on specific circumstances, certain Malta non-domiciled individuals will need to pay a capped annual tax of €5,000.
Malt does not impose inheritance tax, gift tax or wealth taxes.
Tax Advantages Available to Companies in Malta
Income, other than dividends and capital gains is subject to tax at Malta’s normal rate of 35%.
However, on payment of a dividend, a tax refund of between 6/7ths and 5/7ths of the tax paid by a Malta company is payable to the shareholder. This results in a net Malta tax rate of between 5% and 10%.
Where such income has benefited from double tax relief or the Malta flat rate tax credit, a 2/3rds refund applies.
