Today, April 17, 2026, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has officially proposed a new “Tiered Tax” framework designed to protect the island’s status as Europe’s premier iGaming hub. Under the new plan, smaller startups will benefit from significant tax rebates, while larger multinational operators will face a structured increase in compliance fees. This strategic move aims to foster innovation and prevent “brain drain” to emerging jurisdictions like the UAE, ensuring that Malta remains the operational heart of the global gambling industry.
