  • Great presenter

    I had the pleasure of hearing him present at a tax law conference in Miami and enjoyed his insightful, concise and engaging way of presenting complex tax issues. I can’t wait to listen to his podcast which, judging by his presentation, must be well worth listening to!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 Malta Permanent Residence, Citizenship & Tax Planning with Dr. Jean-Philippe Chetcuti
Q: How does the non-Dom regime work for high earners and retirees considering Malta?
Non-Dom in Malta means you are resident but not domiciled, so income arising outside Malta can remain non-taxable if not remitted, and there are elective special tax rates that can apply if you elect to be taxed under those regimes, particularly beneficial for pension income and long-term planning.
2026 Malta Permanent Residence, Citizenship & Tax Planning with Dr. Jean-Philippe Chetcuti
Q: Give me all the deets. How much does it cost? What's the timeline? Do I have to live in Malta, etc. Give me all the commitments that I have to check to get into this program.
Residency timing varies by profile, with a typical total cost around 120,000 euros for the whole family and a timeline of about eight to nine months; residency is granted first, followed by investment, and there is no mandatory minimum presence during the application stage for the permanent residency program.
Unlocking Austrian Citizenship with Nadine Anderson
Q: Is dual citizenship generally allowed in Austria, and what are the notable exceptions?
Dual citizenship is generally not permitted; exceptions include citizenship via Section 10.6, Section 58C, birth where parents are from different countries, or a possible waiver under strict circumstances.
Unlocking Austrian Citizenship with Nadine Anderson
Q: Can descendants of Nazi victims obtain citizenship under 58C, and what are the main eligibility factors?
Yes, descendants can qualify under 58C; key factors include direct lineage to a Nazi victim, Austrian origin or former Austrian citizenship of the victim, and primary residence in Austria during the relevant period or proven persecution preventing return; the process is broader and somewhat more straightforward than the merit route.
Unlocking Austrian Citizenship with Nadine Anderson
Q: What does Citizenship by Merit under Section 10.6 involve, and how discretionary is the process?
It involves an exceptional achievement in fields like sports, science, art, or business, with the government holding full discretionary power to grant citizenship, and no guarantee even if one meets the criteria.
