Attractive Tax Structures & Tax Refunds

Malta’s tax regime is approved by both the European Union and the OECD, giving Malta an advantageous position on the global financial services market.

With a relatively low 35% tax liability on corporate profits, and an imputation system in place, shareholders are able to claim a refund on tax on the dividend paid by the company, which can result in a net effective tax between zero and 10%.

GCB Malta Ltd can assist your business in claiming tax refunds as per these favourable tax structures.
