A Malta Company can trade and provide services/consultancy/intermediation internationally throughout Europe (having a Maltese/EU VAT registration) as well as outside the EU, enjoying a net 5% effective tax rate after refunds to shareholders. Malta companies are not low tax companies (the corporate tax rate is 35%) and refunds of up to six-sevenths (30%) may be payable to shareholders. They are excellent vehicles for royalty routing, treasury operations, e-gaming and e-commerce operations.
