Your payroll and how it works:

 

  1. The majority of our Irish companies with Maltese based pilots are already registered in Malta with a tax registration number so there is no further action required with the Maltese tax office.
  2. You are already registered as an ‘employee’ in Malta for social security purposes as Maltese tax laws do not allow self employment when there is only one client (your agency).
  3. A monthly payroll will be ran through the Maltese payroll system and you will be issued with a Maltese payslip each month.
  4. Personal Income Tax in Malta is progressive and starts at 15% after the first €1058 taxable income.
