FINANCIAL TRANSACTION TAX (FTT)

The European Union financial transaction tax (EU FTT) is a proposal made by the European Commission to introduce a financial transaction tax (FTT) within some of the member states of the European Union (EU).

The map above shows the countries requesting to partecipate (blue color) and the countries NOT interested (red color)

In Europe actually, Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom currently levy a type of FTT. The FTTs differ significantly across countries. For example, Switzerland levies a 0.15-0.30 percent stamp duty on the transfer of equities and bonds involving a Swiss securities dealer, while France implemented an FTT that taxes equity trades at 0.3 percent and high-frequency-trading at 0.01 percent.

EU Country Tax Rate

Belgium (BE) 0.12% – 1.32%*
Finland (FI) 1.6% – 2.0%
France (FR) 0.01% – 0.3%
Ireland (IE) 1%
Italy (IT) 0.02% – 0.20%
Poland (PL) 1%
Switzerland (CH) 0.15% – 0.30%
United Kingdom (GB) 0.5% – 1.5%

Apart from avoiding as much as possible to make a financial transaction on markets applying the FTT, what matters most is how your financial investments are taxed under a scheme of Income Tax or Capital gain Tax

For the above-mentioned reason, have a look at the article about Capital Gain Tax and NON DOM profile in Malta

CAPITAL GAIN TAX Europe and MALTA NON-DOM

Highest capital gains taxes:
Denmark (42 percent)
Finland (34 percent)
Ireland (33 percent)

Lowest capital gains taxes:
The Czech Republic and Hungary (15 percent)
Poland (19 percent)

On average, the European countries covered tax capital gains at 19.9 percent.

The investment income, such as dividends and capital gains, is taxed at a different rate than wage income. Today’s map focuses on how capital gains are taxed, showing how capital gains tax rates differ across European OECD countries.

When a person realizes a capital gain—that is, sells a capital asset for a profit—they face a tax on the gain. The capital gains tax rates shown in the map are expressed as the top marginal capital gains tax rates

In Malta instead the general rate is 15%, but if you are under a NON-DOM regime the capital gain regime is much more attractive, being equal to a rate of ZERO%

whilst either

B) capital transfers into the country or

C) the capital gains remitted to are not taxable at all.

Many expatriates choose one of Malta’s attractive residency schemes to benefit from the non-dom rules. As a resident of Malta, a primary residential address is required there.
