Double Taxation Agreement

In the world of international business, there are two concepts that are often confused: tax domicile and place of operation. At first glance, they seem synonymous, but they are not. And the difference can determine where the company pays taxes, what rules it must comply with, and even whether it runs the risk of double taxation.

This article shows how Malta can be a strategic base for global businesses, with a structure adapted to the new generation of remote entrepreneurs.

The Maltese model allows for efficient, legal and transparent tax management, making it a very advantageous solution for international entrepreneurs - especially given the double taxation agreements between Malta and Portugal.

Malta is one of the most advantageous jurisdictions for Portuguese entrepreneurs looking to expand internationally. The Double Taxation Agreement between Portugal and Malta, in force since 2002, avoids the double taxation of income, allows tax benefits such as the partial refund of tax paid in Malta, and offers legal certainty for long-term planning. A solid option in line with European legislation.
