About Malta
Malta, just like Cyprus, is right in the middle of the Mediterranean and has been an EU member state since 2004. Despite the recent setbacks and negative publicity Malta has received, it is still considered an attractive jurisdiction for International Investors due to its attractive tax system. Foreign investors can benefit from a variety of incentives, as well as a favourable tax system that has been developed to attract high net worth individuals that are non-Maltese residents.
