Детали программы
The Malta Global Residence Programme (GRP) is a special tax status available exclusively to non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals. It provides a flat 15% tax rate on foreign-source income remitted to Malta, significantly below Malta's top marginal rate of 35%, while offering residence rights in an EU member state with Schengen Zone access.
The tax structure under GRP is highly favorable: foreign income not remitted to Malta is completely exempt; foreign capital gains are exempt even if remitted; only foreign income actually brought into Malta is taxed at the flat 15% rate. Income arising in Malta and capital gains realized in Malta are taxed at 35%.
A minimum annual tax of EUR 15K applies. Property requirements: purchase property valued at minimum EUR 275K (Malta) or EUR 220K (Gozo/South Malta), or rent for at least EUR 10K /year (Malta) or EUR 9K /year (Gozo/South Malta). Application fee: EUR 6K .
