§ 02 Why Malta/malta/why
Where the refund
system still rewards structure.
Malta's full-imputation regime remains one of the most efficient legal corporate structures in the EU — but only when set up properly from day one.

Effective rate near 5%.
For correctly structured non-resident shareholders, the 6/7ths refund brings the effective rate to ~5%.

A familiar legal environment for international founders — contracts, courts and language all in English.
03
EU passport.
Full access to the single market, EU VAT and freedom of capital — without the headline tax cost.
04
Banking that works.
We have working relationships with the three Maltese banks that still onboard international companies.
