Malta is located at the centre of the Mediterranean, positioned between Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Insights • Malta • Tax
Malta’s tax system applies different rules based on an individual’s residency and domicile status. Those both ordinarily resident and domiciled are taxed on worldwide income, while others may be taxed only on Maltese income or foreign income brought into Malta. Companies incorporated or managed in Malta are taxed at a flat 35% rate, with a full imputation system that avoids double taxation on dividends. Capital gains and property transfers are subject to specific tax treatments, and Malta offers multiple forms of double taxation relief, including treaty-based and unilateral options, to support international taxpayers and businesses.
