At a time when governments across Europe are tightening the noose on cryptocurrency profits, one small Mediterranean nation is quietly rolling out the red carpet for investors. While Italy, France, Denmark, and other Western economies sharpen their tax claws, Malta remains focused on fiscal leniency, particularly for long-term crypto holders and active traders seeking shelter from punitive capital gains levies.
The appeal is simple: for those who qualify as non-domiciled residents, foreign-sourced capital gains – including crypto – are taxed at precisely 0%.
No caveats, no thresholds, no catches.
It is, in effect, a legal loophole so large one could pilot a yacht through it. And given Malta’s proximity to Monaco, some undoubtedly have already. The question is why aren’t you?
The Maltese Proposition: Zero-tax Gains and Corporate Flexibility
For anyone who has watched their Bitcoin holdings roller-coaster from euphoria to despair and back again, the idea of paying no tax on those hard-won profits may sound suspiciously utopian. But in Malta, it is reality.
The country’s tax advantages include:
Favorable Corporate Tax Structure: Malta’s tax refund system enables businesses—including individual investors with substantial portfolios—to achieve an effective corporate tax rate as low as 5%.
0% Tax on Foreign-Sourced Capital Gains: Whether it’s crypto, securities, or even real estate held abroad, there is 0% tax on foreign sourced gains.
No Cap on Tax-Free Gains: Unlike other jurisdictions that offer tax breaks within strict limits, Malta’s exemption applies across the board.
Double Taxation Treaties: With over 70 agreements in place, investors can rest easy knowing their income won’t be taxed twice.
English as an Official Language: Unlike other tax-efficient destinations, Malta offers the crucial advantage of English as an official language, making compliance and corporate structuring refreshingly straightforward.
