Every eligible employee, self-employed person and pensioner is guaranteed a minimum annual improvement of €1,200 (€100/month) — delivered through the revised bands plus a targeted rebate top-up where the bands alone do not reach that minimum. PN estimates the package costs €230–265 million annually at full implementation.

PN commits to automatically raising the personal income tax bands every year by the same Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) percentage applied to wages.

PN proposes investing €12 million in a New Space, Data and AI economic sector within its first five years in government, aiming to attract foreign direct investment in satellite connectivity, space data, navigation and AI services. The plan is projected to generate around €100 million for the Maltese economy initially, rising to €200 million per year within ten years.

The Nationalist Party proposes to abolish the tax on all property transfers through inheritance, the tax on succession of family businesses, and the tax on property donated by parents to their children or grandchildren.

PN proposes that every worker in Malta would have the right to regular physical and mental health screening, paid for by the State. The screenings would be delivered through existing healthcare services and integrated into a planned National Health Park in Selmun, shifting the health system toward prevention rather than reaction.
