Why Malta?
The Republic of Malta is situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, south of Sicily, east of Tunisia and north of Libya.
The network of double taxation treaties to which Malta is a signatory and the solid and comprehensive legislative framework which provides a sound basis for conducting business activities, particularly in the financial services, shipping and online gaming sectors, have contributed substantially to Malta’s successful development as an international business centre.
