Malta is fast becoming a regional center of excellence due to enterprising policy makers, a mature and developed legal system, a competitive tax environment and an adaptable, highly-skilled English-speaking workforce.

Malta's economic performance continues to be robust with industrial activities including asset management and funds, insurance business, banks, high-end manufacturing, IT activities and e-commerce, shipping and aviation activities, film production and tourism.

In addition to economic stability, Malta enjoys political stability with well-established relations with the West, the Middle East and North Africa.

Malta thus presents a reputable hub for multi-nationals with a competitive cost benefit profile and a unique tax system offering:

  • incentives for intellectual property and research & development activities;
  • generous provisions for the deductibility of expenses and for amortization and depreciation;
  • relief for double taxation by way of foreign tax credits and full imputation with refunds; and
  • access to EU Directives and an extensive tax treaty network.

The attractiveness of Malta's investment environment is evidenced by international investors continuing to expand activities in Malta once established. The quality of life and the unrivalled charm of the island are definitely a successful combination.

Malta is very much ready for business and so are we.
