Home /Mt / Limited Liability Company In Malta

Malta, a business-friendly country located strategically, offers a favorable tax structure and an English-speaking environment. If you are an entrepreneur looking to expand your business, setting up a limited liability company in Malta opens the gateway to the European market and facilitates easier cross-border trade.

Business Setup Worldwide (BSW), which has expertise in this domain, can help you set up a Maltese company in an effortless manner.

What is a Malta Limited Liability Company?

A limited liability company in Malta is a corporate structure for setting up a business in the EU member state. It is governed by the Malta Companies Act, 1995 (Chapter 386) and offers benefits like limited liability, which means that the liability of members is limited to the amount payable by them.

Moreover, a limited liability company’s existence in Malta is valid only when a Memorandum of Association (MoA) is signed, and a certificate of registration is issued. The firm must also have a registered office in Malta and appoint a company secretary.

As per the Act, there are two types of Malta LLC: Private LLC and Public LLC.

Here is a quick distinction between the two:

Feature	Private LLC	Public LLC
Suffix	Ltd. SICAV (if an investment company)	p.l.c SICAV or INVCO (if an investment company) S.E. (Societas Europaea)
Minimum Share Capital	€1,164.69	€46,587.47
Paid-up Capital	At least 20% at the time of incorporation.	At least 25% at the time of incorporation.
Number of Shareholders	1 to 50 members.	Minimum of 2; no maximum limit.
Public Offerings	Strictly prohibited.	Can be listed on the Stock Exchange
Minimum Directors	1 (Individual or Corporate).	2 (Must be individuals).
Share Transfers	Restricted by the company articles.	Freely transferable by default.
Other names	Single-member LLC (when there is only 1 member)	-

Why Form a Limited Liability Company in Malta?

The reasons to set up an LLC in Malta are the numerous advantages it offers. Let us take a look at them:

Foreign Ownership

Anyone can register a Malta limited liability company. There is no nationality or residency requirement for Malta offshore company formation.

Limited Liability

The members of both public and private limited liability companies in Malta enjoy limited liability. Thus, the members are only liable up to the amount payable by them.

Multi-Currency Capital

As Maltese law allows a company to hold currency in any currency denomination, a firm can use any convertible currency, such as USD or GBP, to inject capital. However, the amount must be the equivalent of the minimum capital requirement as mentioned in the Companies Act.

Non-resident Tax Exemption

A non-resident shareholder of a limited liability company in Malta can enjoy numerous tax benefits. Since Malta follows a full imputation tax system, a non-resident shareholder can claim a 6/7th refund on the tax paid, bringing the effective corporate tax rate down to 5 percent from 35 percent.

Moreover, Section 12 of the Income Tax Act provides that any non-resident shareholder living abroad is not subject to tax on royalties, dividends, or interest received from a Maltese company. However, to qualify for this, the company must not operate domestically. It must also not be a permanent establishment of any other company.

Participation Exemption

Article 12(1)(u) of the Income Tax Act outlines that any company set up in Malta can claim participation exemption on the income it earns from its subsidiaries, provided it holds at least a 5 percent stake in them.

Moreover, to enjoy the dividend tax exemption, the subsidiary may either be an EU resident, have less than 50% passive income, or pay 15% corporate tax elsewhere.

Additionally, if an LLC in Malta sells the subsidiary for a profit (capital gains), tax exemption automatically applies without having to prove any of the above-listed conditions.

Remote Company Setup

There is no requirement to be present locally to set up a limited liability company in Malta. It can be easily completed with the help of BSW consultants.
