The treaty was signed by the plenipotentiaries of the two countries, Guido de Marco(Former Deputy Prime Minister for Foreigh Affairs) and Jacques F. Poos(Former Deputy Prime Minister of Foreigh Affairs, Foreign Trade and Cooperation). It came into effect in 1996.
The government of Malta has been working diligently to improve international business with various states around the world. One of these nations is Ireland. Ireland’s participation in business with Malta has proved fruitful for both states. One of the most prominent cooperations between the two nations is the Malta-Ireland double taxation agreement. The goal of this agreement is to eliminate the double taxation of businesses operating in both countries. Due to the double tax system, a lot of foreign investors are finding interest in opening businesses in Malta.
