REDOMICILIATION OF COMPANIES TO MALTA
Legal
Notice 344.2002
Recent
changes to the law of Malta have introduced the concept of redomiciliation of
foreign companies to Malta. In terms of the new amendments to the Companies Act
and in terms of Legal Notice 344/2002, companies that are incorporated outside
of Malta may change their domicile to Malta under certain terms and conditions.
Foreign companies that wish to register in Malta now need not wind-up their
foreign business and re-incorporate in Malta, but can instead move their
domicile to Malta while the former company set-up remains in existence.
Our
legal and tax professionals assist EU and non-EU
enterprises seeking to take advantage of Malta as a tax-efficient European
business base with advanced financial, telecoms and e-commerce facilities such
as Malta.
