Lebanon & Malta Double Tax Treaty
The Double Taxation Relief Treaty between Malta and Lebanon was signed in Beirut on 23 February 1999 and is currently in force since 10 February 2000.

Lebanese Withholding Taxes
The main features of the Malta-Lebanon tax treaty are as follows:

Royalty Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Lebanon states that the maximum Lebanese withholding tax on royalties distributed by a Lebanese resident to a Maltese resident effective beneficial owner of the royalty income is 5%.
Other Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Lebanon states that pensions and other similar remuneration from Lebanese sources to a Maltese resident individual may only be taxed in Malta.
However, this does not apply for pensions paid under the social security legislation of Lebanon, which are taxable in Lebanon only.
When navigating tax matters from Malta to Lebanon and from Lebanon to Malta, it’s essential to understand how the Double Tax Treaty between the two countries impacts taxation on income, capital gains, and other financial obligations. This treaty ensures that individuals and businesses benefit from reduced tax liabilities and avoid the risk of double taxation. By leveraging this agreement, both residents and companies can optimise their tax position when operating or investing across Malta to Lebanon or Lebanon to Malta.
