Core Advantages of a Maltese Company

Malta offers a suite of powerful benefits that empower international businesses to operate with efficiency, privacy, and control. Here's a closer look at the key advantages you can leverage.

icon

Fiscal Efficiency

Malta operates a full imputation tax system. While the standard corporate tax is 35%, non-resident shareholders can claim a tax refund, resulting in a net effective tax rate as low as 5% on foreign-sourced income. This makes Malta a highly attractive jurisdiction for international business.

EU Membership & Passporting

As a full member of the European Union, a Maltese company has the right to provide services and trade across all EU member states. This "passporting" right eliminates barriers and simplifies operations within the single market.

icon

Flexible Corporate Structure

A Maltese company can be established with as little as one shareholder and one director, who can be of any nationality. There is no minimum capital requirement for private limited companies, offering maximum flexibility.

icon

Asset Protection

A Maltese company can act as a shield, legally separating your personal assets from your business interests. This provides a robust layer of protection against potential legal claims and creditors.

icon

Ease of Formation & Maintenance

The incorporation process is quick and efficient. While reporting is required, the straightforward process and availability of professional services reduce ongoing costs and effort.

Global Recognition

Malta's corporate legislation is respected worldwide, facilitating smoother international transactions and enhancing the credibility of your business on a global scale.

Choose the Structure that Fits Your Goals

Malta offers a variety of corporate structures, each designed to serve different strategic objectives. Understanding your options is the first step toward building a successful international business.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

This is the most popular choice for international ventures. A Maltese LLC is a versatile entity used for a wide range of activities, including international trading, holding intellectual property, and as an investment vehicle. Its primary benefits include its tax efficiency and high confidentiality, making it perfect for global entrepreneurs.

Partnerships (Società)

Malta offers two main types of partnerships: the Partnership `en nom collectif` (general partnership) and the Partnership `en commandite` (limited partnership). These structures are ideal for joint ventures and professional service firms, offering a flexible management structure and a clear separation between personal and company assets.

Trusts & Foundations

For sophisticated asset protection and estate planning, Malta offers a well-regulated framework for trusts and foundations. These entities are used for long-term wealth preservation, succession planning, and consolidating global assets. They provide an advanced level of legal and financial separation, protecting family wealth from future liabilities.
