Forming and Registering a trading company in Malta
International Trading Company - Company Formation in Malta
Definition: An international trading company (ITC) is a normal Maltese onshore company, which is engaged in trading activities from Malta, rather than in Malta, with non-residents. ITCs can purchase goods of local origin provided that the acquisition is not made from anyone who holds more than 15% of the share-capital of the ITC. Trade may also be carried out with other ITCs and offshore trading companies.
An ITC is a flexible vehicle and its uses are various as long as they fall within the definition of trade. The most obvious use would be that of general trading companies or purchasing houses for companies operating outside Malta. It could be used for group financing purposes, to channel management or other consultancy services. Captive management companies with ITC status may manage resident captives trading exclusively with non-resident persons.
The incorporation of Maltese International Trading Companies, which are EU compliant and OECD approved companies, can offer substantial tax incentives and other advantages amongst which is the Free trade within the EU since Malta has joined the EU on May 1, 2004
Fiscal Benefits
The company formed in Malta is taxed at the normal rate of company taxation, that is 35%, however, upon distribution of profits by the ITC to its non-resident shareholders, the following refunds reduce the tax burden to 5%:
• A refund of 7.5 % representing the difference between the corporate tax rate of 35% and the rate of 27.5% levied on the shareholder.
• A refund of 2/3 tax paid by the ITC to be reimbursed by the Inland Revenue by not later than 14 days from the end of the month in which it becomes due.
