Income Tax Return Filing Deadline - Year of Assessment 2026

June 3, 2026

The Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA) has announced that the deadline for both the manual and electronic filing of income tax returns for the Year of Assessment 2026 (basis year 2025) has been extended from 30 June to 31 July 2026.

The online service for filing the personal income tax return for YA 2026 is now available on the MTCA's portal at mytax.mtca.gov.mt.

The extended deadline applies not only to individual income tax returns but also to returns filed by clubs and similar institutions (TA37), religious entities (TA36), partnerships (TA5), and trusts (Trust 04). Any tax due in connection with these returns is likewise payable by 31 July 2026.

With the deadline now approaching, we strongly encourage all taxpayers to begin gathering the relevant documentation and to seek professional advice where necessary. Early preparation not only reduces the risk of errors but also allows sufficient time to identify any available deductions, credits, or exemptions that may reduce the overall tax liability.

If you are unsure whether you are required to file a tax return, or if you require assistance in preparing and submitting one, the CSB Tax Team is available to assess your specific situation and guide you through the process. Please do not hesitate to get in touch - we would be happy to help.
