About MIT

The Malta Institute of Taxation is a non-profit making organisation governed by Statute. It is an independent and autonomous body made up of, and run by, tax practitioners which works to promote knowledge and good practice in the tax profession. The Institute generates its own financial resources which are applied towards the achievement of its mission and objectives.

Since its establishment in 1995, the MIT has strived to establish itself as a professional body for advisers, practitioners and academics operating in the field of taxation in Malta, promoting the highest standards in the tax profession, through the creation of learning opportunities and ongoing professional education, and contributing toward the development of local tax policy, legislation and administrative practices.

The academic activities of the Institute range from periodical seminars on topical tax issues and developments, to specialised and intensive courses targeted at different levels of experience. Since 2006, the MIT has run an annual postgraduate course in taxation – the MIT Course on Taxation (previously known as the MIT Diploma Course in Taxation) – which is a specialisation course covering local, EU and International Taxation. Over the years, the Institute’s academic calendar has been developed to offer specialisation courses in a number of areas of taxation.

The Institute regularly makes submissions to Government on tax legislative and practical issues relevant to tax professionals. However, the MIT is not a lobby group for tax professionals.

The MIT does not provide tax advice, however, through its committees, endeavours to generate tax resources for the benefit of and use by its members which can be accessed via the Members Area of this website.
