- [Malta Yacht Registration: Requirements, Process and Tax](https://ltdmalta.com/malta-yacht-registration/): A yacht can fly the Maltese flag whether it belongs to an Italian entrepreneur, a German family or a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. That openness is one reason why Malta's ship registry, by Transport Malta's own description, is the largest in Europe. The flag, however, is only one of the decisions an owner has to make. Who owns the yacht, how it will be used and where its VAT has been paid weigh at least as much, and that is where most of the costly mistakes are made. This guide covers the whole picture, with the rules as they stand after the changes introduced in 2025 and 2026.
- [Do You Need a Resident Director in Malta? Requirements & Rules](https://ltdmalta.com/resident-director-malta-requirements/): Almost every enquiry we receive about setting up in Malta eventually arrives at the same question: do you need a resident director in Malta? The answer given by most incorporation websites is a flat "yes, for tax residence" — and it is wrong, or at least badly incomplete.
- [Malta Global Residence Programme (GRP): Flat 15% Tax, Requirements & How It Works](https://ltdmalta.com/malta-global-residence-programme-grp/): The Malta Global Residence Programme (GRP) is one of the most established tools in the EU for internationally mobile high-net-worth individuals who want a legitimate European tax base without the obligation to relocate full-time. Its signature feature is a flat 15% tax rate on foreign income remitted to Malta — a defined, predictable rate that replaces progressive rates reaching 35%. This guide explains how the GRP works in 2026, who qualifies, what it costs, and — just as importantly — when it does not make financial sense.
- [Trading Tax in Malta: A Complete Guide for Traders and Investors](https://ltdmalta.com/trading-tax-malta/): More and more international traders — whether they deal in shares, forex, CFDs or cryptocurrency — look to Malta to legally reduce the tax burden on their profits. But the question is almost always framed the wrong way: there is no single "trading tax in Malta". There is a system that treats someone who invests very differently from someone who trades as an activity, and someone who earns foreign profits differently from someone who earns them in Malta. Understanding this grid is the difference between an efficient relocation and a costly mistake.
- [Malta’s Simplified Company Dissolution](https://ltdmalta.com/malta-simplified-company-dissolution/): Closing a Maltese company used to be slow, costly and — for companies that had simply stopped trading — disproportionately heavy. As of 16 December 2025, that changed. Malta introduced a simplified dissolution procedure that lets eligible dormant private companies be struck off the register without appointing a liquidator. Whether you already hold a Maltese structure you no longer need, or you are weighing whether to incorporate in Malta in the first place, this reform is worth understanding. Below we explain what the procedure is, who qualifies, the conditions involved, and the step-by-step process.
- [Malta 5% Corporate Tax Explained: how does it really work?](https://ltdmalta.com/malta-5-percent-corporate-tax-explained/): Malta is often associated with an attractive 5% effective corporate tax rate for companies. However, this figure is frequently misunderstood.
- [How to Register a Limited Company in Malta](https://ltdmalta.com/how-to-register-a-limited-company-in-malta/): Malta has become one of the European Union’s most practical places to base a business. It is an EU member state with full access to the single market, English is an official language across law and commerce, its company law is closely modelled on the UK system, and its tax framework can bring the effective corporate burden down to as little as 5% for qualifying trading companies. For founders, holding structures and international entrepreneurs, that combination is hard to find anywhere else in Europe.
- [Malta vs Dubai: where to set up your company](https://ltdmalta.com/malta-vs-dubai-tax-company-formation/): "Malta or Dubai?" is one of the most common questions we hear from entrepreneurs comparing low-tax jurisdictions. Both are genuinely attractive — but they solve different problems, and the headline tax rates hide the part of the decision that actually matters. This guide compares Malta and Dubai (UAE) on corporate tax, personal tax, real costs, EU access, substance and lifestyle, with 2026 figures, so you can see which one fits your situation rather than the brochure.

- [Provision of Director and Company Secretary](https://ltdmalta.com/services/provision-of-director-and-company-secretary/): Malta directorship services cover both statutory officers your company needs. Maltese law requires every company to have at least one director and a company secretary, each with specific duties under the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta). For most international structures, these company officers also play a decisive role in establishing the company's tax residence in Malta — through the "management and control" test that determines where a company is effectively managed for tax purposes. If you are still deciding, our guide explains when a resident director is required in Malta and when it is not.
