Understanding Malta's Tax System

Malta uses a progressive income tax system with rates from 0% to 35%. The 2025 Budget significantly expanded tax-free thresholds, with the single person threshold increasing from €9,100 to €12,000 — a €2,900 jump representing maximum annual savings of €675.

Social security contributions (SSC or “bolla”) are 10% of gross salary for both employee and employer, capped at €2,830 annually for workers born from 1962 onwards. This cap means higher earners pay a smaller percentage of income in SSC.

Married couples can aggregate income through joint computation, yielding a €15,000 tax-free threshold. Alternatively, spouses may elect separate computation using single rates when both earn substantially different amounts.
