Living in Malta
OfficesOverviewNewsGuidesBooks

If you’re living in or thinking about moving to Malta, you could enjoy significant tax advantages – the Maltese tax system is very different, particularly for non-domiciled individuals. If you’re moving to Malta, we can help you weigh up the various residence programmes available that can limit the tax you have to pay and protect certain assets from taxation.

Our team of specialists based in Malta and London work together to provide tax advice and financial planning solutions to expatriates living across Malta and Gozo. Our office in Mriehel is also our operations hub, where our administration, legal and operations teams are based.

Estate Planning for Malta

There is no inheritance or gift tax in Malta, although there are stamp duty charges on the transfer of real estate.

Maltese law also applies ‘forced heirship’ rules on real estate. This means that your spouse and children will inherit a certain proportion of your property, regardless of what your will says.   It is possible to override these rules, and we can present legitimate options to ensure your estate is distributed according to your exact wishes.

UK Pension Planning in Malta

There are various options for accessing your UK pension savings.

We can advise you on the pros, the cons and the tax implications of each option, so you can make a fully informed decision on the best solution for you.

Investment Advice for Malta

Our specialist expertise ensures your finances are structured as tax efficiently as possible for Malta, with an investment strategy personalised for you. We have access to some of the world’s best investment managers to make sure your money works as hard as it can.
