Malta Company Formation
Chetcuti Cauchi Adwokaci provides
cost-effective and efficient incorporation services in Malta.
Our tax consultants 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.
Malta Domiciliary and Registered Office Service
Chetcuti Cauchi Adwokaci provides registered
office facilities in Malta as required by law, irrespective of the place
where the company's business is conducted. In compliance with local
legislation, the company must keep all statutory records and other
documents which must be available for review.
Nominee Services: Directors/Shareholders
Shares may also be held on behalf of an
undisclosed beneficiary by our nominee company
licensed by the Malta Financial Services Centre to provide nominee and
trust services. Similarly, we can provide nominee director services 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
