Get qualified scheme

Students undertaking specific courses with universities not represented in Malta can apply to get part of the costs back as a tax credit under the ‘Get Qualified’ scheme administered by Malta Enterprise.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to recover up to 80 per cent of their expenses on registration fees, fees paid to the university, institution or other recognised training or educational entity, as well as examination fees.

Tax credits are capped depending on the level of qualification or certification being obtained.

Local education service providers (including training institutions and local representatives of foreign university) need to submit an expression of interest to provide a list of qualifications that may be included in the ‘Get Qualified’ scheme.

These will then be reviewed to ensure they fit within the scheme’s criteria before being approved for eligibility. Students following approved qualifications will be able to apply for the tax credit through the service provider.

The new ‘Get Qualified’ scheme is being expanded with the aim of providing a skilled workforce for sectors that are significant for the country’s economic development.
