Highly Qualified Persons Rules Amendment 2021

Highly Qualified Persons Rules, or HQPR, was a scheme introduced in 2011 through Maltese Parliament Legal Notice 106. This residence programme seeks to attract highly qualified persons in the financial, gaming and aviation sectors by offering a 15% flat rate of tax.

Benefits of Highly Qualified Persons Programme

  1. 15% income tax;
  2. Tax-free income on any income exceeding €5 million per annum;
  3. You can extend the 5-year programme to 10 years for EU/EEA/Swiss nationals;
  4. For non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals, you can extend the 4-year programme to 8 years.

Highly Qualified Persons Rules Amendment

In the Legal Notice Highly Qualified Persons Rules, a few amendments were introduced with retroactive effect from 31 December 2020 about the benefits provided in the Highly Qualified Persons Rules.

The HQP Rules have been extended for another five years whereby no determinations by the corresponding competent authorities shall be issued after 31 December 2025, and any such determination issued must refer to any employment regarding the benefit provided by the HQP Rules commences by 31 December 2026 and ceases to apply by 31 December 2030.

Persons applying to benefit under the HQPR may now be eligible for two further extensions (as opposed to one) of five years for EEA and Swiss nationals and four years for third-country nationals.
