Clarification on the Presumption of Deduction - Article 38, ITA
a. Where a payor that is liable to make or makes a payment of investment income that falls under the provisions of article 41(a)(iv)(1) is not a person that is resident in Malta, and the relevant public issue was not made on a stock exchange that is situated in Malta, then it cannot be reasonably expected that such a payor is aware of the said Investment Income Provisions and is not expected to make a deduction in terms of article 33 of the Income Tax Act in relation to such investment income. Consequently, the presumption concerning the deduction that ought to have been made as per article 38 of the Income Tax Act does not apply.
