Malta Files

The Malta Files is the name of the financial scandal revealing the content of several hundred thousand official documents detailing the procedures developed by Malta to organize tax evasion within the European Union (EU). Malta uses its EU member status to fiscally host large corporations and wealthy private clients, enabling them to evade their home countries' taxation.

The Malta Files scandal was revealed in May 2017 following investigations by the European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) network. The revelations highlighted tax avoidance practices implemented in Malta.
