Malta | Income Tax Return Basis 2018 – Pensioners – Tax Rebate calculations
Legal Notice 22 of 2018 explains the Government Budget 2018 measures on Pensions. The Legal Notice does not mention exemptions but tax rebates allowable as a set-off. The tax rebates allowed against taxed income earned in the year 2018 shall in no case give rise to a tax refund and shall not be allowed to be carried forward to following years.
The workings for the tax rebate for pensioners over 61 years of age are the following:
Persons applying the Single Tax Rates with pension exceeding €9,100:
Pension Tax Rebate = [(Pension Income – €9,100) * 0.15]
Condition: Maximum tax rebate cannot exceed €615
Persons applying the Parent Tax Rates with pension exceeding €10,500:
Pension Tax Rebate = [(Pension Income – €10,500) * 0.15]
Condition: Maximum tax rebate cannot exceed €405
Persons applying the Married Tax Rates with pensions exceeding €12,700:
Pension Tax Rebate = [(Pension Income – €12,700) * 0.15]
Condition: Maximum tax rebate cannot exceed €75
An additional further tax rebate is being granted for pensioners earning additional taxable income:
Total Tax Rebate = [(Total Income – €12,700) * 0.15] – [Pension Tax Rebate as above]
Condition: Maximum tax rebate cannot exceed €150
