However, this is not the case. The fact is that non-resident companies in Malta are entitled to a refund of taxes paid, which allows us to talk about the lower level of taxation in Malta compared to most countries in the world.
In order to claim a corporate income tax refund, a foreign company must be registered in Malta as a trading or holding company (deriving its income from trading activities or from participation in other organisations, respectively).
In the tax accounting of a Maltese company, the income earned by it must be recorded in one of four tax accounts: “foreign profits”, “Maltese profits”, “profits from immovable property”, “non-taxable income”. Each type of income is taxed according to its own rules. The final amount of tax is recorded in the fifth account “final tax”.
Example. Consider the two most common cases: a Maltese company derives profits from trading activities abroad and from participation in other companies. In either case, these profits are subject to statutory tax at 35 per cent, but the Maltese shareholders are entitled to claim a refund of the tax taken from the dividends distributed. The refund rules differ for different types of income.
If a Maltese company derives income from trading activities outside Malta (and the term “trading” includes both the direct purchase and sale of goods and the provision of services), its shareholders are entitled, upon receipt of the dividend, to apply for a refund of 6/7th of the tax previously paid in Malta. Therefore, the effective income tax rate will be 5 per cent. -

Comment Link Tuesday, 27 August 2024 08:29Opening a bank account for a company in Europe can be challenging due to strict anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements. Banks require extensive documentation, including proof of business model and origin of funds. It is also important to consider that many banks require the personal presence of the founder when opening an account.
Step 4: Tax planning
Once a company has been incorporated and a bank account opened, attention should be paid to tax planning. This includes selecting the best tax scheme, possible tax incentives and examining any double tax treaties that may exist between the country of incorporation and other countries where the business is planned to operate.
Step 5: Compliance with legal requirements
The company must comply not only with tax regulations, but also with other legal regulations, including labour, health and safety and industrial safety laws. It is important to regularly consult with local legal counsel to maintain compliance with all requirements.
Conclusion: Opening a company in Europe with a bank account requires careful planning and preparation. Understanding local laws, choosing the right jurisdiction and complying with all regulatory requirements are key elements of success in this process. It is advisable to seek professional assistance from international business and tax experts to ensure a smooth start of your business in Europe. -

If you are planning to start a micro-business with a small number of employees or run your business on your own, countries with high start-up and maintenance costs (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein) are unlikely to be the best choice for you. In addition to the cost of starting a company, it is also important to consider the costs of maintaining it: the cost of accounting services, the obligation to undergo an audit, the need for local employees and the need for a physical office in the country of incorporation.
Company control. Before starting a business in Europe and choosing a country to open a company, it is worth paying attention to the corporate legislation of the country you have chosen – in some European countries (Switzerland, Bulgaria) a company with foreign ownership has an obligation to have a local director who is a resident of the country. For some types of business this may be an insignificant and easy to fulfil requirement (you have a partner, a resident of the country in which you fully trust), but for other types of business it can be a significant problem and it is better to try to solve it at the earliest stage, choosing a European country to open a business in which there is no such obligation.
Confidentiality of information about the company’s beneficiaries. If inaccessibility of data on company beneficiaries is critical for your business, Cyprus and Switzerland will be the preferred choice for opening a company in Europe. It should be borne in mind that in some European countries information on all company members is freely available (Estonia), while in others it can be ordered for a small fee from the Commercial Register or from a private company that has such information. -

Comment Link Tuesday, 27 August 2024 00:57There is no single ideal jurisdiction in the world for starting a business that would suit everyone. But there are countries whose legislative and tax system is ideally suited to your particular case.
Very often we are approached by clients with the request “Quickly register a company in the EU and pay low taxes”. But during a consultation with a specialist it turns out that, for example, the client also wants to stay in the country of business for a longer period of time or permanently reside there with the possibility of obtaining EU citizenship, which means that it is necessary to additionally apply for a long-term residence permit abroad.
In view of this situation, we always recommend approaching the choice of a country for starting a business comprehensively, taking into account both corporate, tax and immigration laws together with the goals and objectives that the entrepreneur wants to achieve. -

Comment Link Monday, 26 August 2024 20:42This form of business can be chosen by different types of business entities such as trusts, corporations, and individuals. LLCs do not put the assets of their shareholders at risk by separating personal liabilities from those created by the company. The establishment of a limited liability company in Europe often requires the preparation of incorporation documents, the deposit of a minimum share capital, and registration with the Commercial Register. The management of the LLC is usually entrusted to the members (directors and shareholders), but in some cases the decision-making power in the company may be delegated from the founders of the business to hired managers.
Opening an LLC in Europe offers many advantages, the most attractive of which is the limited liability of the owners. This means that in case something goes wrong, the owner will be liable for the company’s debts up to the amount of the authorised capital. Another important advantage of choosing a limited liability company is the capital that is required at incorporation. Many European countries have reduced the authorised capital requirements for this type of company. One of the best examples in this case is the Netherlands: those who want to open a Dutch limited company only need €1 as authorised capital. Of course, the total costs will be higher, but the Netherlands remains one of the cheapest European countries to start a company. -

Luxembourg does not tax profits generated by offshore bank accounts. An offshore Luxembourg bank account is a guaranteed means of capital protection. All information in offshore bank accounts in Luxembourg is considered confidential and may not be disclosed without the express authorisation of the bank account holder.
Luxembourg offers unique business opportunities due to its stable economy, favourable tax system, strategic location, quality financial services and high standard of living. These factors make it an attractive location for international investors and entrepreneurs seeking to expand their operations or enter the European market.
However, business success in Luxembourg requires careful planning and understanding of the local environment. This includes choosing the best legal form for the company, strategic planning, complying with regulatory requirements and proactively engaging with local partners and regulators.
Overall, Luxembourg offers a favourable environment for business development, backed by a highly skilled workforce, an innovative economy and a stable legal system. -
