Company Formation in Malta
Europe
Overview
Malta is a respected European Union jurisdiction renowned for its economic stability and pro-business environment. While not a tax-free haven, it offers a highly attractive tax refund system that can reduce the effective corporate tax rate to as low as 5%. Its EU membership, robust legal framework, and efficiency in company formation make it an appealing choice for international businesses seeking confidentiality and a quick setup, especially for those in shipping, investment, and banking sectors.
