Insight from AE

Registration of an Overseas Company in Malta

There are two ways to register a foreign company in Malta. The first is to set up a company that’s both managed and controlled in Malta, and the second is to create a new branch that’s based on the Island. In either case foreign companies will be able to make the best use of Malta’s network of tax treaties, tax system, and membership of the VAT system. Once the company or branch is established, it must be registered with the Maltese Registrar of Companies within a month. Deciding which option to go with will depend on the motivations of the company, for example, how long they intend to operate in Malta.
