class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Malta is a member of the European Union, this important status led to the increase of the export market, as foreign investors setting up companies take advantage of the facilities offered the country\u2019s freeport. The Government also has offered numerous incentives throughout the years which contributed to a large number of<strong>&nbsp;foreign investors coming to Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;during the past decades. The authorities also enabled various programs in order to attract foreign direct investments in sectors like tourism, IT, agriculture, research, and development.

These treaties ensure that the profits companies make in Malta are exempt from taxes in their resident countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even if the corporate tax rate is set at 35%, the tax is actually taken down to much lower values due to the participation holding shareholders are allowed to have.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shareholders are entitled to ask for refunds of the 6\/7th part of the tax on dividends, therefore the tax will be taken down to 5%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malta is very attractive for pensioners also, as the laws grant foreign pensioners who move to Malta a tax of 15% and the pensioners\u2019 capital gains or incomes in other countries are not subject to taxes in Malta.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an infographic that explains the main reasons foreigners should<strong>&nbsp;invest in Malta<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"\/contact\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta-480x1200.png\" alt=\"main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta.png\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta-480x1200.png 480w, https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta-120x300.png 120w, https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta-768x1920.png 768w, https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta-614x1536.png 614w, https:\/\/companyincorporationmalta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/main-reasons-to-invest-in-malta.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"workforce-in-malta\"><\/span><strong>Workforce in Malta<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyincorporationmalta.com\/workforce-in-malta\"><strong>workforce in Malta<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is highly appreciated due to the fact that English is an official language, but Maltese people also speak Italian, German or French.

The&nbsp;<strong>Investment Services Act&nbsp;<\/strong>was adopted in 1994 with the purpose of regulating&nbsp;<strong>investment services and financial institutions<\/strong>, but also to attract more&nbsp;<strong>foreign investors<\/strong>&nbsp;interested in the financial sector.
