Highly Skilled Individuals Scheme (HSI Scheme)

The Highly Skilled Individual Scheme (HSI) is intended to attract highly skilled persons to occupy positions classified as “eligible office”, as determined by the Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA).

Upon approval to hold the position, the applicant shall be required to submit, on an annual basis, a relevant RA form accompanied by the required supporting documentation, duly endorsed by the Authority, and submitted to the MTCA together with the tax return applicable to that year.
