Sovereign Malta - Holding Company

A Malta holding company is commonly used to hold shares, investments and business or personal assets, supported by a tax framework that includes participation exemption and favourable treatment of income. While not a standalone regime, Malta’s system makes it an effective EU-based holding structure.

Malta holding companies can be set up in order to hold shares and securities and business assets in any form – real estate, fixed assets, aircraft, investments, bank accounts and intellectual property – as well as personal assets such as yachts, residential property and works of art. Although there is no defined holding company regime, the domestic tax treatment afforded to the different types of income received by such companies, as well as the participation exemption regime, make the setting up of Malta holding companies a highly attractive option, especially as a conduit for the EU.
