The conditions to&nbsp;<strong>set up a foundation in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022 The minimum worth of assets when setting up a Maltese foundation must be of EUR 1,160 for foundations established for social purposes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 The name of the establishment must include the word \u201cfoundation\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 The assets of the foundation may consist of money or property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 The foundation must have a registered address in Malta.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following information must be provided when&nbsp;<strong>setting up a foundation in Malta<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022 The purpose or beneficiaries of the foundations must be declared upon registration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 The assets constituting the foundation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2022 The board of administrators and the way it will be constituted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign corporations or individuals must&nbsp;<strong>appoint Maltese local agents<\/strong>&nbsp;who will represent the foundation. When&nbsp;<strong>setting up a foundation in Malta<\/strong>, the duration of the establishment must also be declared. The maximum validity term for foundations is 100 years, except for&nbsp;<strong>Maltese collective investment companies&nbsp;<\/strong>for which the validity term may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can ask our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyincorporationmalta.com\/company-formation-services-in-valletta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>company incorporation agents in Malta<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;about the registration of collective investment schemes as&nbsp;<strong>foundations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"private-foundations-in-malta\"><\/span><strong>Private foundations in Malta<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to&nbsp;<strong>establish a private foundation in Malta<\/strong>, the name of the beneficiaries must be written in the deed of foundation. If the beneficiaries have not been mentioned in the deed, a declaration that the&nbsp;<strong>foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;is constituted for the benefit of others must be drawn. In this case, the beneficiaries must be indicated in other documents signed by the founder or founders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, these documents must be addressed to the foundation\u2019s administrators. In case of&nbsp;<strong>Malta<\/strong><strong>private foundations<\/strong>, the beneficiary statement may not be filed, the legal person being registered in its stead with the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyincorporationmalta.com\/trade-register-in-malta\">Maltese Companies Registrar<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"other-facts-about-malta-foundation\"><\/span><strong>Other facts about Malta foundation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Charitable foundations can have well-defined objectives. Some may raise funds for projects related to education, poverty alleviation, science, environment, religion, animal welfare, health, and medicine. There are also human rights foundations that raise money to help vulnerable people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the&nbsp;<strong>Maltese foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;can register for a number of benefits, including those related to the tax system.

His or her attention also includes maintaining the control and possession of properties of a foundation and ensuring fulfillment with the charity ruling and applicable laws in Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, everything related to the administration of a<strong>&nbsp;foundation in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;involves keeping a clear line between the assets of the charity and the ones of the founders and beneficiaries, when it comes to liabilities and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-the-taxation-of-a-foundation-in-malta-entail\"><\/span><strong>What does the taxation of a foundation in Malta entail?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably a serious reason to&nbsp;<strong>set up a foundation in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;is its taxation, which is quite advantageous. In this sense, income earned by a<strong>&nbsp;Maltese foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;is subject to a 35% corporate tax rate. However, around 5% of the paid tax returns to the beneficiaries as a refund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover,<strong>&nbsp;foundations in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;may be subject to the same taxation regime as trusts. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and here we refer to assets of<strong>&nbsp;Maltese foundations&nbsp;<\/strong>located outside the country, as well as the generation of incomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We advise you to discuss all these aspects with one of our local specialists who can also deal with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.companyincorporationmalta.com\/establish-branch-malta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>company formation in Malta<\/strong><\/a>, including foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-a-malta-foundation\"><\/span><strong>What are the benefits of a Malta foundation?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<strong>foundation in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;has many advantages. One of them is related to the rather attractive tax system, with certain tax exemptions. Here are some other benefits of a<strong>&nbsp;foundation in Malta<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Are protected by laws and regulations imposed by the European Union.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The administrators have the responsibility to respect the legal framework and to protect the foundation of which they are part.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are no stamp duties or withholding taxes for&nbsp;<strong>Maltese foundation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These entities may also open bank accounts in countries other than Malta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Segregation of patrimony is another benefit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Supervisory Council has the power to change or remove the administrators of the foundation, if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The redomiciliation of<strong>&nbsp;foreign foundations in Malta&nbsp;<\/strong>is possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly,<strong>&nbsp;foundations in Malta&nbsp;<\/strong>that do not generate income in this country are advantageous from a tax point of view. On the other hand, the founders of charities can be both administrators and beneficiaries, which represents another benefit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foundations can also be registered for structuring estate planning or other financial projects. And last but not least, the assets, responsibilities, and liabilities of a charity in Malta are separate from those of the founders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of the advantages of a&nbsp;<strong>Maltese foundation<\/strong>&nbsp;that you should consider if you want to register such an entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-we-can-help-you-open-a-foundation-in-malta\"><\/span><strong>How we can help you open a foundation in Malta<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our&nbsp;<strong>company formation agents in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;have experience in this field.
