India and Malta have renegotiated the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) to align with global norms and changes in domestic laws.

"India and Malta have renegotiated the agreement to bring in line with international standards, change in domestic laws and changed economic scenario," an official statement said here today.

DTAA and a protocol to avoid double taxation and prevention of fiscal evasion due to taxes on income are already in force between the two countries since 1995.
