Bermuda Exempt CompanyMalta International Holding Company (IHC) Company Formation

Malta is a member of the EU and is therefore an attractive jurisdiction in which to incorporate a company. Furthermore, as the Maltese tax system is designed to promote international investment and support the development of financial services in Malta, the tax rate is set particularly low for non-resident tax payers.

An International Holding Company (IHC) is a company intended to hold overseas investments and distribute the income to non-residents.
