The formation of a limited company in Malta can have different motives. People often do not know the advantages of a Maltese limited, and have to gather information before fully understanding the potential such a company structure can have. I have decided to write about some of the advantages a Malta limited company can have, as they could be of great importance in case a company is founded on this island. I am not going to say that the Maltese limited is the best company for everyone, quite the contrary, a company formation in Malta is only sensible in some cases.
The first advantage I will mention is the taxation of the Maltese limited company. For example, if an active trading company is formed, and its daily business is carried out in Malta, it is possible to also form a Holding company with foreign shareholders. In certain cases it is then possible to get a corporation tax refund, and lower the corporation tax rate to 5%. The company formation in Malta offers a good opportunity to save taxes.
The second aspect I would like to talk about now is the reputation of this legal structure in relation to offshore companies and the British limited company. Due to stricter regulations with regards to the establishment and the capital resources, the Maltese limited is different, and enjoys a better reputation than the aforementioned company structures.
My last point will be Malta itself as a location. A company that is registered in Malta does not only give you an international character, you can also benefit from the infrastructure in Malta and much lower cost of operation of your business.
All these three advantages are of a more fundamental nature. More synergies are possible, depending on the nature and activity of the company. For more information, or a personal consultation you can contact the office of Dr. Werner & Partner.
