And according to them it's taxable from 15-35% depending on your income.

Is there a way to go around it or how do people deal with the situation?
Search back for my previous post ITT (from last year I believe). Your research is well done and correct, although I've known zero player who paid any taxes besides me in Malta and been living there for many years. You obv don't have an issue until you have Problem could also start when you are going to try reintroduce your income in your home country, but that's a different story for an other day.

If you just want to spend it from your e-wallet and not planning to save/invest or sth, I assume the chance you'll get in trouble is very close to zero.

Hey neomorf, is it possible to ask you a few specific questions on the taxation? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Maybe you can add me on skype ( camelodor ) or write me an email to webama12@yahoo.com as I cant seem to write a personal message here.

Have a great day!

Hi I have a question. I would be interested in moving to Malta and playing online poker from that state. Does someone have experience with the area? If so, you can share them.

I currently live in Slovakia, I am 21 years old and I play the SNG hyper turbo 6 max format at Limits 7-30. After the summer, I need to move away from my parents and start living alone. The rent for an apartment in Slovakia is the same as the rent in Malta. That's why I don't hesitate, but I would like me to know more from the poker community.

Thank you for every answer.

Without knowing much about slovakia i very much doubt this and would bet my first born comparable apartments in malta will be 2-3x.

That being said malta very likely more fun for a guy in your age with bigger pokercommunity around

The current price in Slovakia for a 1-room apartment connected with a kitchen and one bathroom is 300-400 €, the price for an apartment with two bedrooms and a separate kitchen and one bathroom is usually around 500-600 €. I wonder if the prices on the mortar website are really the same as they are listed. and if anyone could advise me, the best area with the cheapest price.

What time it's best to travel to Malta. and how much money to prepare in advance for the advance only for life and rent.

Thanks

I haven't been in ages, but I'm pretty sure that is not the price range of rentals on Malta, TimStone's guesstimate is probably more like it

It depends where you wanna live. If you fine with living in maltese village far from everything you probably can get something along the prices you quoted which will be in fairly poor condition. If you want a nice place in sliema or st julians you probably can 2.5-3x those numbers.

For cheaper and still not to far away can look into gzira and swieqi however even there you wont find anything for 500 bucks which is even remotely livable.

Malta is nice from end april to mid october. How much money you have to prepare nobody can tell you.
All i can tell you is that Malta will be significantly more expensive than slovakia in every single aspect apart from maybe drinks at a bar

Hi, I'm visiting Malta for 4 nights this summer as a tourist. Where would you guys recommend staying? Priority - beach nearby, good restaurants, good public transport to get around the island.

From Google it seems my best choices are Sliema or St. Julian's - are they the best choices?

come to Malta, book a airbnb/ hotel for a week or two, contact some real estate agents, they are all the same and all have the same database, all have the same fee (50% of one months rent) so doesn't really matter who you contact, back when I was renting quicklets and hero agents were good.

You will probably like Sliema, St Julians, Swieqi.

Real estate market is going down due to malta being greylisted, autumn/winter is a good time to rent anyway, you will find good deals, you can also negotiate.

There are a couple of traps though:
-Make sure your contract is registered with the housing authority
-make sure you are on the correct electricity tariff, landlords scam hard with that
-take photos when you move and make sure you put in the contract what you need to do to get your deposit back. LL will try and scam you with the deposit almost always.

If you have more questions
