Malta Budget 2027: Key Takeaways
Baker Tilly Malta
The Malta Budget 2027 reinforces the Government’s commitment to sustaining economic growth while continuing to provide targeted support to families, workers, pensioners and businesses. Against a backdrop of ongoing global economic uncertainty, the Budget seeks to balance fiscal responsibility with measures designed to strengthen household purchasing power, encourage investment, and support Malta’s long-term competitiveness. Key initiatives include continued energy price stability, further tax relief for families, enhanced pension benefits, and new incentives aimed at fostering business growth and reinvestment.
From a business perspective, one of the most notable measures is the introduction of a reduced 25% corporate tax rate on retained or reinvested profits for qualifying small companies with annual turnover not exceeding €1 million. The Budget also renews a number of existing incentive schemes supporting digitalisation, innovation, sustainability and investment. Together, these measures signal a continued focus on enhancing productivity, encouraging higher value-added economic activity, and supporting the resilience of Malta’s business community.
