Turkey & Malta Double Tax Treaty
The Double Taxation Relief Treaty between Malta and Turkey was signed in Istanbul on 14 July 2011 and is currently in force since 13 June 2013.

Turkish Withholding Taxes
The main features of the Malta-Turkey tax treaty are as follows:
Dividend Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Turkey states that the maximum Turkey withholding tax on dividends distributed by a Turkish resident company to a Maltese resident company where the Maltese resident company holds at least 25% of the share capital of the Turkish resident company is 10%.
In all other cases, the maximum Turkish withholding tax is 15%.
Interest Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Turkey states that the maximum Turkish withholding tax on interest paid by a Turkish resident to a Maltese resident beneficial owner of the interest income is 10%.
Royalty Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Turkey states that the maximum Turkish withholding tax on royalties paid by a Turkish resident to a Maltese resident beneficial owner of the royalty income is 10%.
Other Income
The Double Tax Treaty Malta Turkey states that pensions and other similar remuneration from Turkey sources to a Maltese resident individual may only be taxed in Malta.
However, this does not apply for pensions and other payments made under the social security legislation of Turkey, which are taxable in Turkey only.
When navigating tax matters from Malta to Turkey and from Turkey 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 Turkey or Turkey to Malta.
