Why Invest Again?

March 17, 2025

The Invest Scheme (“Invest”), launched in 2024 and follows on the previous Investment Aid Schemes, provides aid in the form of tax credits, cash grants, loan interest rate subsidies and loan guarantees (subject to certain conditions), to undertakings engaged in:

certain qualifying activities - such as manufacturing, hotels, pharmaceuticals, computer programming and data hosting. Discover the full list of qualifying activities here;

in respect of an initial investment commencing after 1 January 2024 and before 31 December 2027;

as a percentage of qualifying expenditure (i.e. tangible and intangible assets or wage costs) incurred on the project.

While Invest maintains similar conditions to previous Investment Aid Schemes, there are several notable differences worth highlighting:

Application forms should be submitted to Malta Enterprise Corporation within 12 months from the start of work date in the case of aid in the form of tax credits, however, not later than 30 September 2026. Application forms requesting other forms of aid should be submitted at least 12 weeks prior to the commencement of the investment project.
