If your Maltese company sells from a warehouse outside the EU, your cheapest products need a new price check.

Since 1 November, the EU charges a €2 handling fee on goods sent from outside the EU to private customers in the EU.

On a €20 product that is 10% of the price. The fee is charged per product type in each parcel, whatever the value of the goods, so a parcel with 3 identical mugs carries €2, not €6.

Whoever declares the goods to customs pays the fee. That is usually the seller, a platform, a carrier or a customs agent.

The fee depends on where the goods are at the time of the sale. Stock that you imported and cleared through customs earlier is not covered.

Before you decide how much profit to take out this year: Malta's Budget announced a 25% tax rate, instead of 35%, on the profits that companies with annual turnover of up to €1 million keep or reinvest.

Profits paid out as dividends stay at 35%. The announcement of 26 October is not law yet. The conditions and the start date have not been published, and neither has an explanation of how the rate works with Malta's refund system for shareholders.

What the announcement does show is a ten-point difference between profit that stays in the company and profit that is paid out, measured in the headline rate before any shareholder refund.

That is worth knowing when you plan. Until the measure is enacted, though, today's rules apply.

The wording of the Germany–Malta tax treaty is no longer the only test for a structure that relies on it. Since last year, the treaty also contains a principal purpose test, added through the OECD multilateral instrument.

Under the test, a treaty benefit is denied if it is reasonable to conclude that obtaining it was one of the principal purposes of an arrangement, unless the benefit matches the purpose of the treaty provision.

The dividend article is unchanged. As long as Malta keeps its full imputation system, the treaty's 5% and 15% caps do not apply to dividends from a Maltese company. Malta charges no withholding tax on dividends paid from taxed profits.

A company with real activity, staff and decision-making in Malta can show why it exists. A company set up mainly to use the treaty will find that harder.

28/10/2026

Almost every Maltese company registered before 10 July 2026 has a deadline in early January 2027. By then, it must check whether its shareholder register shows who really owns it. If not, Form BO4 may be due.

Only companies listed on a regulated market, and companies wholly owned by them, are outside these rules. For all others, Legal Notice 184 of 2026 lets the register of members serve as the register of beneficial owners.

This works only if every shareholder is an individual holding shares in their own name and they are the company's only beneficial owners. If all the shareholders are individuals but the company does not qualify, it has to file Form BO4.

Not filing it carries a penalty of €10,000, plus €500 for each day of delay.

We can carry out the check and make the right filing before the deadline: drwerner.com/en/services/compliance-services

27/10/2026

A company name registered in Malta is not yet a protected brand. For that, the name also has to be registered as a trade mark.

The Malta Business Registry only records the company name. A trade mark is registered separately, in Malta with the Industrial Property Registrations Directorate or for the whole EU with the EU Intellectual Property Office.

An EU trade mark filed online costs €850 for one class of goods or services, €50 for the second and €150 for each further class. It lasts ten years and can be renewed.

The protection covers only the classes you list, so include what you plan to sell, not just what you sell today.

If your company name is also your brand, we can check whether it is available and file the trade mark before you launch: drwerner.com/en/services/trademark-registration

23/10/2026

Relocating to Malta under The Residence Programme? If your application is received by 31 December 2026, your minimum tax stays at €15,000 a year until 2031. Applications from 2027 face at least €35,000.

From 1 January 2027, a single Individual Tax Programme replaces four programmes, including The Residence Programme, and charges an application fee of €8,500. Applications received by 31 December 2026 stay under the current rules until 31 December 2031.

Malta's Budget on Monday 26 October could still change this. This is the position today.

A complete file takes time to prepare, and there are just under ten weeks left. If the current rules suit you better, we can prepare the application with you now: drwerner.com/en/services/relocation

Some German founders expect their German tax liability to end when they relocate to Malta. If they keep significant ties to Germany, it can continue in a wider form for another ten years.

Section 2 of the Foreign Tax Act covers German nationals who were fully taxable there for at least five of the last ten years and move to a low-tax country. A 1% stake in a German company is enough of a tie.

Malta can count as a low-tax country. In January 2025, the Federal Fiscal Court ruled that a remittance basis can be a preferential regime, and Malta taxes non-domiciled residents on that basis.

If you still hold shares in a German company or have income from Germany, we can check whether section 2 applies to you before you relocate: drwerner.com/en/services/tax-advisory
