Malta is intending to amend the rules relating to the taxation (and withholding tax) on amounts distributed by corporations from profits. One of the amendments will change the definition of a recipient in respect of withholding tax on distributions from distributable profits allocated to the untaxed account.
The aim is to align the Maltese rules with the principles of EU law, as clarified by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
