New tax rules for Nomad Residence Permit holders

Nomad Residence Permit Malta

By virtue of LN 277 of 2023, last December Malta has introduced new tax rules applicable to Nomad Residence Permit holders.

Individuals who are issued with a residence permit after 1st January 2024, will be subject to income tax at a rate of 10% on income derived from ‘authorised work’.  The new rules indicate the reporting obligations, being to register for income tax purposes, report the income received, file an annual income tax return, and pay tax as required.

However, Nomad Residence Permit in Malta are still able to benefit from the double taxation relief as per Malta’s tax treaties, and in such case, they must provide proof of paying taxes outside Malta at a rate of at least 10% on such income, and therefore that would not have to pay the 10% income tax in Malta.

It’s important to note that individuals who already hold a Nomad Residence Permit shall not be subject to income tax on the income from ‘authorised work’ derived prior to 1st January 2024.
