[one_half]

Malta is well known for its beneficial tax environment, and many companies choose this location to take advantage of this. Corporate Income Tax is subject to a flat rate in Malta, and receivers of dividends paid out of corporate income and subject to tax in Malta can claim large tax refunds from the distributing company. Malta also offers a stable legal and economic infrastructure and professional workforce.

The main company forms for foreign investors to incorporate in Malta include:

  • Private Limited Companies
  • Public Limited Companies
  • Commercial Partnerships

Inclusion of a Maltese holding company is advised during the incorporation process in order for the dividends and tax refunds to be received on behalf of the business owner. This accesses a more efficient tax environment that allows for reinvestment into the company without exposure for undeclared personal income.

There are no restrictions on foreign owned companies in Malta, and trading, provision of services, consultancy and mediation is liberal. Many regulations are in line with EU directives due to Malta’s status as an EU member, but despite the tax benefits, Maltese taxation is high.
