Fiscal benefits
Malta has one of the most competitive tax systems in the European Union. Corporations are taxed at 35% on all profits. However, 6/7 of the tax is returned to shareholders resident abroad, which makes the real tax rate at 5%. The tax regime is fully approved by the European Union and the OECD. The attractiveness of Malta also grows if it is held that it has an extensive network of over 70 double taxation agreements that eliminate the uncertainty for the investor of being subjected to double taxation. The ace in the hole is the ease with which to do business. Malta is generally 20 to 30% cheaper than other economic centers, making the costs of operations significantly lower.
