    Common Questions

    Malta Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Malta Private Limited Liability Company (Ltd)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Malta Private Limited Liability Company (Ltd) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Malta resident to be a director?

    No, Malta does not require directors of a Private Limited Liability Company (Ltd) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Malta company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 2–3 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Malta?

    Malta applies 35% headline rate, effective 5% after shareholder tax refund system. The US-Malta tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Yes, once registered in Malta, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
