Malta - United States Double Taxation Treaty
It was recently announced that U.S. Ambassador to Malta, Molly Bordonaro, and Malta Finance Minister Tonio Fenech have signed a new double taxation treaty between the two countries in the Maltese capital of Valletta.
This agreement provides, inter alia, for reduced withholding rates on cross-border dividend payments generally with the elimination of withholding tax on cross-border dividend payments to pension funds. It also generally provides for withholding at a 10-percent rate on interest, royalties, and other income.
The treaty also contains a comprehensive limitation of benefits provision and provides for the exchange of information between the tax authorities to facilitate the administration of each country's tax laws.
