Basic overview
EU compliancy and flexible
Malta is an attractive destination to investors looking for tax efficiency, EU, and OECD compliant jurisdiction with an excellent regulatory framework yet flexible and pragmatic enough so as not to stifle investment.
Malta prides itself at the efficiency, in which it processes application for the formation of companies. Indeed subject to all KYC (Know-your-client) documentation being in place, a company can be formally created within as little as one to two days.
After entry in the EU, Malta has become a magnet for Professional Investor Funds (PIF's). Indeed, a good number of these funds have been licensed since Malta's entry in the EU, the large percentage of them, being fund promoters from the within the EU, taking the form of open ended collective investment schemes or SICAV's.
