About the Investment Services and Insurance Expatriate Residency in Malta

Expatriates that are employed by or provide services to Investment Services companies or Insurance companies can benefit from a favourable tax status due to a variety of tax exemptions in place.

For this exemption, an investment services company is a company that holds an investment services licence under the Investment Services Act or is recognised by the authority to manage, administer, safe keep or provide investment advice about collective investment schemes.

Likewise, for the purpose of this exemption, an insurance company is a company that is authorised under the Insurance Business Act and whose sole activities relate to insurance.
