Tax system in Malta

Malta has progressive income tax rates from 0% to 35%, with the first 9,100 EUR tax-free (single rates). Employee social security (Class 1) is 10% of gross salary, capped at approximately 2,850 EUR/year, making the social contribution burden relatively low for higher earners. Malta offers several special tax programs for expatriates, including the Highly Qualified Persons Rules with a flat 15% rate. The island's English-speaking environment and EU membership make it attractive for international professionals.
