Malta claims taxing rights on a worldwide basis only on persons both resident and domiciled in Malta. The maximum tax rate for individuals and the standard tax rate for companies is 35% - however through a series of tax refunds and particular features present in the Maltese tax system, this rate may be reduced significantly. 

Companies registered in Malta must submit an annual tax return to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue specifying the taxable income and any applicable deductions therefrom. With the ever increasing complexity of Maltese fiscal legislation, the relevant tax return has become exceedingly complex while constant changes in income tax legislation are putting increased pressure on those with the financial responsibility for such returns, often consuming a large amount of management time and effort. 

Our tax department can help control such expenses by efficiently providing you the services you require. We have the necessary skills to provide the following services:

  • Assistance in the compilation of companies’ tax computations based on the audited financial statements of the company, including, where applicable, capital allowances schedules, balancing statements, capital gains computations, and claims for relief from double taxation;
