Malta as a Place to Live

Anyone looking to set up a business in Malta needs to consider more than just taxes - whether Malta works as a home base is equally important. As an EU member state, Malta offers a stable legal environment, a pleasant Mediterranean climate and an internationally minded community.

Quality of Life in Malta

The Mediterranean island scores highly with a mild climate, an English-speaking population and a vibrant expat community. Infrastructure is solid, healthcare is at EU standards and the cost of living is moderate compared to Western Europe.

Malta for Entrepreneurs

Malta offers attractive tax conditions for business owners. Through the corporate tax refund system, the effective tax burden can be reduced to around 5%. Combined with access to the EU single market and a stable banking environment, Malta is a compelling location for business.

Your Next Step

Whether Malta is the right location for you depends on your individual circumstances. The experts at Dr. Werner & Partners will guide you through the location decision, company formation and tax planning - get in touch with us.
