Why Malta as a business jurisdiction

Malta is the perfect choice for businesses wanting access to the European market.

In addition, Malta has a well-developed infrastructure with an extensive network of ports and airports that make it easy to move goods and people throughout Europe. Finally, registering your company in Malta provides access to a highly skilled workforce in a country with English as an official language.

Access to the EU Single Market?

The EU Single Market is an area of free movement of goods, services, capital, and people between 28 countries in the European Union. It enables companies located within the single market to trade freely with one another without tariffs or other barriers. As a member state within the European Union, Malta has access to this market and therefore offers U.S.-based investors a unique opportunity for growth. Companies registered in Malta can take advantage of the same benefits that any company based in any other EU country would have access to including tariff-free trading across all member states, freedom from restrictive regulations and access to skilled labour resources.

Competitive tax system

Most of the companies incorporated in Malta are subject to a corporate tax rate of 35%. However, foreign shareholders can claim up to a 6/7th tax refund on any tax paid by the company on profits, distributed as dividends. This system makes the effective rate of tax 5%.
It is also possible to get a full refund should a company have a participating holding.
These are just some of the many advantages offered by setting up shop in this island nation located at the crossroads between East and West. With its unbeatable combination of favourable taxation policies, robust infrastructure, talented professionals and prime geographic location, registering your company here could be exactly what you need to take your venture global!
