Sweden & Malta Double Tax Treaty
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Sweden was originally signed on 9 October 1995 and is currently in force.

Sweden Withholding Taxes
The main features of the Malta-Sweden tax treaty are as follows.
Dividend Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Sweden states that there is no Swedish withholding tax on dividends distributed by a Swedish resident company to a Maltese resident company where the Maltese resident company holds at least 10% of the voting power in the Swedish resident company. In all other circumstances, the maximum Swedish withholding tax is 15%.
Interest Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Sweden states that there is no Swedish withholding tax on interest paid by a Swedish resident to a Maltese resident beneficial owner of the interest income.
Royalty Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Sweden states that there is no Swedish withholding tax on royalties paid by a Swedish resident to a Maltese resident beneficial owner of the royalty income.
Other Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Sweden states that certain pensions and other similar remuneration arising from Swedish sources and paid to a Maltese resident are taxable only in Malta. However such a rule does not apply to similar payments advanced by a Swedish statutory body or local authority or a political subdivision thereof for services rendered therein unless the Maltese resident individual is also a Maltese national.
When navigating tax matters from Malta to Sweden and from Sweden 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 Sweden or Sweden to Malta.
