Malta Company Registration
Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates provides cost-effective and efficient
incorporation services in Malta.
Our tax lawyers are very active in establishing tax-efficient structures
to suit your particular requirements. We can assist you with
making the right choice of jurisdiction, type and name of company.
Under Maltese law, it is not possible to adopt a standard Memorandum &
Articles of Association which enables the company to undertake "any
legal activity". Our corporate lawyers will tailor the constitutive
documents of your company in accordance with your specific needs and to
enable the company to undertake the desired trading, holding or other
activities.

Domiciliary and Registered Office Service

Nominee Services:
Directors/Shareholders
Shares may also be held on behalf of an undisclosed beneficiary by our
trust and fiduciary company authorised by the Malta Financial Services
Authority to
provide trust and fiduciary services. Similarly, we can provide or
procure local
directors where necessary.
Moreover, our standards of confidentiality are also backed by the
Professional Secrecy Act which has established a high common standard of
confidentiality for all professional practitioners. Those who violate
professional secrecy may be prosecuted under Section 27 of the Criminal
Code and on conviction may be liable to a maximum fine of LM20,000
and/or a 2 year prison sentence.
Trust Services
It may be advisable to hold the shares of an offshore company by a trust
to achieve higher levels of tax efficiency. This can result in very
substantial tax and non-tax related advantages which will accrue both on
death and during the lifetime of the "settlor" of the trust, for
instance
