Shareholders benefit from a full allocation system in which tax contributions can be reduced to 0% in certain cases.

To set up a private company in Malta, all you need is one member and one director, the latter must be a natural person of any nationality and resident. There must be a company secretary who must be a Licensed Maltese Nominee Company and there must be a registered office in Malta. Registered shares are allowed, but bearer shares are not allowed. Preference or redeemable shares are allowed.

Although low-tax offshore companies are no longer permitted for foreign investors in Malta, several tax and other advantages remain for setting up a holding company. Malta has a fairly extensive network of double taxation agreements with almost 60 countries, a low income tax rate of 15% on transfers by permanent residents and no self-government taxes. There are also opportunities under the Maltese tax system to significantly reduce corporate tax liability.

A Malta Holding is a company that is resident in Malta and pays tax on its net income. However, shareholders of a Malta Holding will qualify for a full refund of Maltese tax paid by the company on profits arising from the "participating holdings" when such profits are distributed. For a Maltese company to qualify as a participating holding company in a foreign resident company, it must hold at least 10% of the equity in the non-resident company. To qualify for the exemption, the foreign subsidiary must meet one of three criteria: She must be resident in the EU; It must be subject to foreign tax of at least 15%; and derive no more than 50% of his income from passive income.

When dividends are distributed by commercial companies to shareholders, these shareholders are entitled to claim repayments of 6/7 of the tax paid by the Malta company, which amounts to an effective Maltese tax rate of 5%. For profits generated through distribution that are attributable to passive income such as interests and royalties, shareholders are entitled to recover 5/7 of the tax paid by the company. Since 2012, income from royalties on copyright-protected books, screenplays, music and art has been exempt from tax.
