// FAQ
How does the Malta refund system work?+
Tax paid on distributed profits can be partly refunded to shareholders, typically 6/7 on trading income, with 5/7 and 2/3 in specific cases. We prepare the claims and manage the process.
What is the corporate tax rate in Malta?+
The headline rate is 35%, but the effective rate for most active trading groups is materially lower after refunds, participation exemption and treaty relief.
Do you handle transfer pricing?+
Yes. We prepare local-file documentation, benchmarking and intercompany policies in line with Malta's transfer pricing rules and OECD guidance.
When are corporate tax returns due in Malta?+
Generally 9 months after year-end (with electronic filing extensions). We track every entity's deadline and file in advance.
Can you advise on international structures?+
Yes. Holding companies, IP structures, financing and group reorganisations, built around substance, not just paperwork.
