马耳他移民局修订递案要求，对申请人有哪些影响？

The Main Applicant must prove to the Agency's satisfaction that at the time of submission of the application, the adult dependant cannot live a self-sufficient basic independent life without the Main Applicant's support.

Adult dependants having an accumulated wealth and/or sufficient income arising from, but not limited to, corporate affiliations through significant shareholding and/or holding legal positions, top roles or any other role in the corporation,financial assets, properties and reasonable economic activity or employment, would not be eligible to apply for the MPRP Programme, even if the main applicant would be contributing further to enable the dependant to lead a better lifestyle.

No, they are not permissible.?

These should be liquid assets like stocks, bonds, publicly listed/traded shares, funds and bank deposits.

If main applicant’s shareholding exceeds 10% of the total shareholding in a publicly listed company, the company documents are required.?

In the case of business ownership, whether in part or in full, evidence is required whatever the declared employment status of the applicant.?

Originals or Certified true copies of the following documents, or their jurisdictional equivalent, are to be provided for all businesses owned in part or in whole:

? certificate of incorporation.

? memorandum and articles of association.

? share register.

? register of directors.

In those cases where the official extract from the National company registry of the applicable jurisdiction contains all the relevant details, including incorporation information, list of shareholders, registered and paid capital including dates, and the list of directors and/or all legal persons, this extract can be submitted instead of the above documents.

Depending on the jurisdiction, documents can, at times, be titled in a different manner but would still hold jurisdictional equivalence.

When this occurs, a declaration is required stipulating such differences in titles.

If you are not sure whether the official extract or any of the document satisfies the required criteria, it is suggested that you seek advice from the Agency’s customer care department before submitting the application pack.

The MPRP doesn’t carry any tax grants and/or incentives. The applicable Maltese statutory tax provisions apply to this status.

Nonetheless as a general principle, the basic statutory provisions lay down that Maltese tax for non-Maltese-domiciled individuals is imposed on:

i. all chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta, and on chargeable income arising outside Malta that is remitted to Malta in the case of an individual who is resident in Malta, and

ii. only chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta in the case of an individual who is not resident in Malta.

An exception to the above principles applies in the case of individuals holding certain rights under the Status of Long-Term Residents (Third Country Nationals) Regulations and the Free Movement of European Union Nationals and their Family Members Order, who would remain chargeable on a worldwide basis. However given that the MPRP does not of itself grant such rights, MPRP holders' basic tax position should be governed by the general principles set out in the preceding paragraph.

Of course every individual would need to determine the tax treatment applicable in his/ her specific situation and thus it is strongly recommended that the advice of a tax consultant be sought.
