Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Malta income tax rates for 2026?
Malta uses progressive income tax rates. For single filers in 2026: 0% on income up to €9,100; 15% on €9,101–€14,500; 25% on €14,501–€19,500; 25% on €19,501–€60,000; and 35% on income above €60,000. Married and parent rates are more favourable, with the zero-rate band extending to €12,700 for married couples.
How does the Malta 6/7 shareholder refund work?
Malta companies pay corporate tax at 35%, but shareholders who are not resident in Malta can claim a 6/7 refund of the tax paid at company level. This means an effective corporate tax rate of just 5% (1/7 of 35%). The refund is paid to the non-resident shareholder within a year of the dividend distribution. This mechanism makes Malta highly attractive for international holding structures.
What is the Malta Non-Dom remittance basis?
Non-domiciled individuals resident in Malta pay Malta income tax only on income remitted to Malta (received in Malta) from foreign sources, plus any Malta-source income. Foreign income not remitted is completely outside the Malta tax net. A minimum annual tax of €5,000 (or €15,000 for HNW individuals under the Global Residence Programme) applies.
What social security rates apply in Malta 2026?
Malta social security for employed persons is 10% of weekly wage for employees and 10% for employers, each subject to a weekly minimum (€6.62/week) and maximum (approximately €49.97/week based on the Class 1 ceiling of €26,104 annual). Self-employed persons pay Class 2 contributions at 15% of net income with a floor and ceiling.
What is the Malta Global Residence Programme (GRP)?
The Malta Global Residence Programme (GRP) is for non-EU nationals who purchase or rent qualifying property in Malta. GRP holders pay a flat 15% tax on all foreign income remitted to Malta, subject to a minimum annual tax of €15,000. Foreign income not remitted to Malta is exempt. Income arising in Malta is taxed at 35%. This is separate from the standard Non-Dom remittance basis.
