Legal Notice 344.2002
Recent changes to the law of Malta have introduced the concept of
redomiciliation of foreign companies to Malta. In terms of the new amendments to
the Companies Act and in terms of Legal Notice 344/2002, companies that are
incorporated outside of Malta may change their domicile to Malta under certain
terms and conditions. Foreign companies that wish to register in Malta now need
not wind-up their foreign business and re-incorporate in Malta, but can instead
move their domicile to Malta while the former company set-up remains in
existence.
With the support of the legal and tax professionals at
Chetcuti

enterprises seeking to take advantage of Malta as a tax-efficient European
