Malta
As part of the European Union (Shengen Agreement and Eurozone), Malta is considered one of the most corporate tax efficient jurisdictions, particularly for firms trading with companies in the EU and North America. Although Malta assesses 35% tax on company profits, when this profit is distributed in annual shareholder dividends, any shareholders not domiciled in Malta may claim a 6/7th tax refund. In this case the net effective tax on company profits is actually 5%. Malta’s legal and financial system provides an excellent structure for establishing a holding company. Minimal or no exposure to taxation creates an efficient exit route for repatriation of profits.
