Testimonials

“The mandate of the Malta Institute of Taxation remains that of teaching, development and research in the areas of taxation. May I appeal to the Institute to reach out new students who are still not aware of such education opportunities and till today still perceive the study of taxation as weird or extraordinary.

I would like to show my gratitude to the Malta Institute of Taxation for accepting me to pursue my studies in taxation. I promise them that I will continue my studies at a degree level. I know it would be a bigger challenge, but I am sure that it will enhance my knowledge in taxation while simultaneously broadening the opportunities in the taxation industry.”

“I can’t not start without thanking the Malta Institute of Taxation staff for continuously organising these much-needed training programmes for us professionals to keep ourselves abreast with the continuous changes and developments in one of the important sector of our profession. Obviously am referring to the field of taxation, which continuously and even more so in the last few years have seen significant new mandatory requirements and changes, all with their own legalities and complexities. Tax compliance is definitely a challenge for all businesses and our goal should be to foster a culture of compliance that is both informed and empowered by knowledge and this can only be done by keeping ourselves in touch with these ongoing developments.”
