The Czech Senate has taken another step toward replacing its outdated 1996 tax treaty with Malta, with the Senate approving a new double taxation agreement that now awaits final approval by the Chamber of Deputies. 

RF Report

The Czech Republic Senate has approved the new income tax treaty with Malta on 29 July 2026.

The new agreement will replace the existing 1996 Czech Republic – Malta income and capital tax treaty that has been in force since 1997. The treaty aims to prevent double taxation and income tax evasion between the two countries.

The treaty must still be approved by the Chamber of Deputies, where it has passed its first reading and is currently under review by the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Earlier, the Czech Republic and Malta signed a new income and capital taxes treaty on 24 September 2025.
