Malta’s production sharing contract is relatively simple. There is no royalty payable and cost recovery is negotiable up to a maximum rate. Profit splits are negotiable based on a dual sliding-scale linked to project profitability and production rates. Contractors are liable for corporate income tax. We consider the Malta regime to be stable as there have been few fiscal changes and open acreage is awarded through direct negotiation.
