Malta Enterprise’s Micro Invest 2026–2030 scheme will be in place from 2027, offering small businesses and self-employed individuals the opportunity to recover a significant portion of their business investment costs through tax credits.

As businesses continue planning investments, hiring, and wage adjustments in preparation for the coming years, this is a timely reminder to ensure you are aware of the opportunities available under the scheme.

What is Micro Invest?

Micro Invest is a tax credit scheme that allows eligible businesses to recover a percentage of qualifying costs incurred.

• Up to 65% tax credit for Malta-based businesses
• Up to 85% tax credit for businesses in Gozo
• Maximum credit of €65,000 over three years, increasing to €85,000 for Gozo, family businesses, female-owned businesses, and social enterprises

Who should revisit eligibility?

This is particularly relevant for businesses that plan to:

• Increase staffing or wages
• Invest in machinery, equipment, or refurbishment
• Purchase digital tools or software
• Make other qualifying business investments

Eligible costs include:

• Wage increases
• Machinery and equipment
• Office furniture and refurbishment
• Business vehicles
• Software and digital systems
• Branding and signage

How the scheme works

Businesses may submit one application per year, covering eligible costs incurred over the previous three years, provided these have not already been claimed.
