However, where the company's Maltese tax residence and substance matter, effective management and control should genuinely be exercised in Malta, and appointing a qualified local director is often advisable. zeta. provides regulated local directorship services. **Q: Can a single person own a Malta company?** A: Yes. Maltese law permits single-member private limited companies, subject to conditions. One individual can be the sole shareholder and sole director, although every company must also appoint a company secretary, who must be an individual. **Q: What are the ongoing obligations of a Malta company?** A: A Malta company files an annual return with the MBR, prepares annual financial statements (generally audited), files an income tax return, submits VAT returns where registered, and keeps its beneficial ownership information current. zeta. manages this full compliance cycle for clients. **Q: Can I move my existing foreign company to Malta?** A: In many cases, yes. Malta permits the continuation (redomiciliation) of companies into Malta without liquidation, preserving the company's legal identity, contracts and history — provided the current jurisdiction permits outward continuation. The process involves shareholder approval, good-standing evidence and registration with the MBR. **Q: What is an Authorised Company Service Provider?** A: A Company Service Provider (CSP) is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority to provide company formation, directorship, company secretarial and registered office services. Authorised CSP is the highest classification under Act X of 2025. Zeta Corporate & Management Services Limited holds this authorisation. **Q: How much does it cost to maintain a Malta company each year?** A: The statutory components are modest: an annual return fee from €100 payable to the MBR, plus accounting, audit and tax compliance costs and the fees for registered office and any regulated appointments. The total depends on the company's activity and volume; zeta. confirms annual running costs in a fixed, itemised quote before engagement. **Q: What business activities require a licence in Malta?** A: Regulated activities include remote gaming (Malta Gaming Authority), investment services and funds (MFSA), banking, insurance, crypto-asset services under MiCA, and company services. The company is incorporated first and the licence application is built on top of it — zeta.'s Regulatory & Licensing Advisory team handles both together. **Q: Can a Malta company employ staff, and can founders relocate to Malta?** A: Yes. The company registers as an employer and operates payroll with tax and social security deductions; EU nationals work in Malta without permits and established routes exist for third-country hires. Founders who wish to relocate can pair the company with one of Malta's residence programmes — zeta.'s residency advisory team plans the corporate and personal sides together. **Q: Does zeta. handle the full incorporation process?** A: Yes. zeta. manages the end-to-end process including name reservation, drafting of constitutional documents, MBR filing, bank account introduction, tax and VAT registration — followed by ongoing corporate administration, accounting and compliance support. ### Trust & Fiduciary Services _Source: [services/fiduciary-trusts.html](https://zeta-financial.com/services/fiduciary-trusts)_ **Q: What are fiduciary services in Malta?** A: Fiduciary services involve the management of assets, trusts and foundations by a regulated entity acting in a position of trust on behalf of beneficiaries or settlors. **Q: Can I set up a trust in Malta?** A: Yes. Malta's Trusts and Trustees Act provides a robust framework for the creation and administration of trusts. zeta. can assist with the full setup and ongoing administration. **Q: Who are the parties to a Malta trust?** A: Every trust involves a settlor, who creates the trust and settles assets into it; a trustee, who takes legal title and must deal with the assets solely for the beneficiaries or a permitted purpose; and the beneficiaries. A protector may also be appointed with defined supervisory powers over the trustee. **Q: How long can a Malta trust last?** A: A Malta trust may last for up to 125 years, subject to exceptions for certain categories such as charitable trusts. The trust does not depend on the settlor remaining alive — the trustee continues to administer it under the terms of the deed. **Q: Who regulates trustees in Malta?** A: The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Under the Trusts and Trustees Act (Cap. 331), acting as a trustee by way of business requires MFSA authorisation, and trustees are subject to ongoing supervision. zeta.'s fiduciary services are provided through Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited, authorised by the MFSA under the Act. **Q: What is a security trust in Malta?** A: A security trust is an arrangement in which security — such as a hypothec, pledge or other collateral — is held by a trustee for the benefit of one or more creditors, present or future. It is commonly used in bond issues, lending and structured finance, where the security trustee holds and, where necessary, enforces the security for the whole body of creditors. **Q: What is a Qualified Person under the Trusts and Trustees Act?** A: A Qualified Person is a Malta-regulated point of contact principally required where a foreign trustee, or a non-professional local trustee, holds immovable property situated in Malta or shares in a Maltese company. Premier Fiduciary and Trusts Limited acts as Qualified Person for such holdings. **Q: What is a Malta Private Foundation?** A: A Malta Private Foundation is a legal entity with no shareholders, established to hold and manage assets for specific purposes or beneficiaries, often used for succession planning and asset protection. **Q: What is the difference between a trust and a foundation in Malta?** A: A trust is a relationship where assets are held by a trustee for beneficiaries. A foundation is a separate legal entity that owns the assets itself. Foundations are often preferred for civil law jurisdictions. **Q: How are trusts and foundations taxed in Malta?** A: It depends on the circumstances — in particular the residence of the settlor or founder, the residence of the beneficiaries and the location of the assets. In certain cases a trust may be treated as transparent, with income deemed derived directly by the beneficiaries; a foundation may generally elect to be taxed as a Malta company or, alternatively, under the rules applicable to trusts. All outcomes are subject to conditions and to advice on the specific facts. **Q: Do you provide nominee shareholding and escrow services?** A: Yes. We provide regulated nominee and fiduciary shareholding services — holding shares and other assets under mandate or deposit on the instructions of the beneficial owner — and we support escrow arrangements in which assets are held pending defined trigger events under an escrow agreement, subject to onboarding and due diligence. **Q: Is Malta a recognised jurisdiction for fiduciary structures?** A: Yes. Malta's Trusts and Trustees Act is modelled on Jersey law and follows common law principles, while Malta itself operates a mixed legal system combining civil and common law traditions — giving clients the best of both worlds. This framework, coupled with Malta's EU membership and MFSA supervision of trustees, makes Malta a credible jurisdiction for trusts, foundations, and international wealth structuring. ### Accounting, Tax & Payroll _Source: [services/corporate-administration.html](https://zeta-financial.com/services/corporate-administration)_ **Q: What accounting services does zeta. provide to Malta companies?** A: zeta. provides full-cycle bookkeeping, management accounts, and preparation of annual financial statements in line with the applicable Maltese financial reporting framework, supporting clients through year-end audit and statutory filing requirements. **Q: What corporate tax compliance does zeta. handle?** A: We prepare corporate tax computations, complete and submit the corporate income tax return, manage provisional and final tax payments, and advise on the use of Malta's full imputation and shareholder refund system and applicable participation exemptions. **Q: Is my Malta company required to register for VAT?** A: A Malta company may be required to register for VAT under Article 10, 11 or 12 of the VAT Act, depending on the nature and volume of its supplies. zeta. advises on the appropriate registration category and handles both the application and ongoing VAT compliance, including return filings. **Q: What payroll services does zeta. provide?** A: We provide end-to-end payroll processing, including salary calculations, payslip issuance, employee onboarding, FSS tax withholdings, social security contributions, FS5 monthly filings, and year-end FS3/FS7 reporting. **Q: Can zeta. assist with personal tax returns?** A: Yes. We prepare and file personal income tax returns for Malta-resident and non-resident individuals, including expatriates benefiting from special tax regimes, and advise on applicable deductions, credits, and double tax relief. **Q: What are the tax implications of share transfers in Malta?** A: Transfers of shares in Maltese companies may be subject to stamp duty and, where applicable, capital gains tax, with various exemptions and reliefs available depending on the shareholders and the underlying assets. zeta. advises on the applicable treatment and handles the required filings with the Commissioner for Revenue. **Q: Is a Malta company required to have its financial statements audited?** A: Malta companies are generally required to have their annual financial statements audited by a warranted auditor authorised by the Maltese Accountancy Board, in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, before filing with the Malta Business Registry. Limited exemptions may apply for certain small or newly incorporated companies, subject to conditions. zeta. coordinates the audit end to end, from the audit-ready file to the final filing. **Q: Should my Malta company report under GAPSME or IFRS?** A: Companies that qualify as small or medium-sized under the applicable thresholds generally report under GAPSME, while larger undertakings, public-interest entities and certain regulated companies report under IFRS as adopted by the EU. Group accounting policies can also require IFRS. The classification is reassessed each year, and zeta. advises on the framework that applies to your company. **Q: How does Malta's shareholder tax refund system work?** A: Malta companies pay tax at 35% under a full imputation system. On a distribution of profits, qualifying shareholders may claim a refund of part of the Malta tax paid — most commonly the 6/7 refund on trading income, which can reduce the combined effective rate to approximately 5% for qualifying structures, subject to conditions and advice. Refunds are claimed by the shareholder after the tax is paid and the dividend is distributed; zeta. administers the claims from computation to payment. **Q: What does closing down a Malta company involve?** A: A solvent Malta company is generally wound up through a members' voluntary liquidation: filings are brought up to date, a liquidator is appointed, final liquidation accounts and a scheme of distribution are prepared and audited, and the company is struck off the register after the statutory notice period. A simplified dissolution route also exists for qualifying companies, subject to conditions. zeta. manages the accounting, tax, VAT and payroll deregistrations throughout. ### Residency Advisory _Source: [services/residency.html](https://zeta-financial.com/services/residency)_ **Q: Which residency programmes does zeta. advise on?** A: We advise on Malta's full range of residence routes — including the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP), the Global Residence Programme (GRP), the Malta Retirement Programme, Ordinary Residence, Single Permit routes and the Digital Nomad Visa — as well as Gibraltar's Category 2 and HEPSS statuses and Greece's Golden Visa Programme, the latter two delivered together with our partners. **Q: Is zeta. a government agency?** A: No. zeta. is an independent, privately owned advisory firm. Through Zeta Advisory Services Limited we act as a Licensed Agent authorised by the Residency Malta Agency for the MPRP and as an Authorised Registered Mandatory approved by the Commissioner for Revenue for other Maltese residence programmes. Applications are decided by the relevant authorities, not by us. **Q: How do I choose between Malta, Gibraltar and Greece?** A: It depends on what you are optimising for. Malta suits those seeking an English-speaking EU base with permanent-residence and retirement programmes; Gibraltar suits high-net-worth individuals and senior executives seeking a capped-tax, common-law jurisdiction; Greece suits investors seeking flexible Schengen residence through a qualifying investment with minimal stay expectations. We assess your circumstances before recommending a route. **Q: Do all residency programmes require an investment?** A: No. Requirements vary by programme — some combine a government contribution, a qualifying property purchase or rental and administrative fees, while others are based on self-sufficiency, employment or independent income. Current thresholds change from time to time and are confirmed at consultation. **Q: Can my family be included in a residency application?** A: Generally yes. Most programmes cover the spouse and dependent children, and several extend to parents or other dependants, subject to conditions. We confirm the position for your family at the eligibility stage. **Q: Will taking up residency change where I pay tax?** A: It can, but residence status and tax residence are not the same thing. Tax residence depends on facts such as physical presence, ties and intentions, and on the interaction with your home country's rules and double tax treaties. We coordinate with tax advisors so the immigration and tax positions are planned together, subject to advice. **Q: How long does a residency application take?** A: Timelines vary by jurisdiction, programme and the due diligence involved. We set out a realistic timeline at the outset, prepare the file so it is right first time, and manage correspondence with the authorities until a decision is issued. **Q: Can residency lead to citizenship?** A: In some cases. Maltese citizenship may be applied for by naturalisation after a period of lawful residence, and Greece provides a route to citizenship after several years of genuine residence — both subject to conditions including integration and, in Greece's case, language requirements. Citizenship is always discretionary and is assessed separately from residence. **Q: Do I need to live in the country full-time to keep my residency?** A: It depends on the programme. Some routes carry minimal physical-presence expectations, while others require genuine links or regular presence — and what is needed to maintain residence status can differ from what is needed for tax residence or citizenship. We explain the practical expectations for your chosen route before you apply. ### Regulatory & Licensing Advisory Services _Source: [services/advisory-structuring.html](https://zeta-financial.com/services/advisory-structuring)_ **Q: What is regulatory advisory and which sectors does zeta. cover?** A: Our regulatory advisory service supports clients in obtaining and maintaining authorisations under Maltese and EU regulatory frameworks.

Applicable rates depend on the nature of the income and each shareholder's circumstances. **Q: How many double-tax treaties does Malta have?** A: Malta has an extensive network of over 70 double-taxation treaties, which can reduce withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties paid to or from Malta. **Q: Can non-residents incorporate a company in Malta?** A: Yes.

A PIF typically takes 4–8 weeks, while a full UCITS licence may take 3–6 months, subject to document completeness. **Q: Are Malta investment funds tax efficient?** A: Yes. Malta investment funds are generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax on their income and gains, and there is no withholding tax on distributions to non-residents. **Q: Does zeta. provide ongoing fund administration?** A: Yes. zeta. supports fund directors, assists with regulatory reporting, investor communications and liaises with the MFSA on an ongoing basis. **Q: Should I choose Malta or Gibraltar for my fund?** A: It depends primarily on distribution. Malta is an EU domicile, so a qualifying Malta fund can passport across the EEA — the right choice where European investor access is the priority. Gibraltar sits outside the EU and offers a simpler, faster regime with no diversification, borrowing or leverage limits, but marketing into the EEA must be done under national private placement rules rather than a passport. Strategy, target investor base, and cost also feed into the decision, and zeta. advises on both jurisdictions. **Q: What fund types are available in Gibraltar?** A: Two. The Experienced Investor Fund (EIF) is a regulated product under the Financial Services (Experienced Investor Fund) Regulations 2020, marketed to experienced or high-net-worth investors. The private fund is established under Schedule 24, Part 2 of the Financial Services Act 2019 — it must be registered with the GFSC but is not licensed, authorised or regulated by it, and its promotion is restricted to no more than 50 persons. **Q: How long does it take to set up a Gibraltar fund?** A: Generally six to eight weeks. An EIF does not require regulatory pre-approval — it is launched on the basis of a legal opinion and notified to the GFSC under the post-launch notification procedure — so once the structure and service providers are in place, the fund can commence operations without a further waiting period. **Q: How are Gibraltar funds taxed?** A: Gibraltar taxes on a territorial basis: the ordinary corporate rate of 15% applies to Gibraltar-source income only, so where a fund's income arises outside Gibraltar there is effectively no assessable tax base. There is no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, and no withholding tax on distributions, and non-Gibraltar residents are not liable to Gibraltar tax on dividends or gains from the fund. Tax treatment elsewhere is a separate question on which independent advice should be taken. **Q: Can a Gibraltar fund invest in crypto or digital assets?** A: Yes. There are no statutory restrictions on the asset classes an EIF may invest in, and no diversification, borrowing or leverage limits — the fund need only follow the investment strategy set out in its offering memorandum. The 2026 amendments to the Protected Cell Companies Act 2001 also introduce a statutory framework for tokenised cells and tokenised participation shares within PCC structures. ### Maritime Services _Source: [services/maritime.html](https://zeta-financial.com/services/maritime)_ **Q: Can I register a yacht or vessel in Malta?** A: Yes. Malta operates one of the largest ship registers in the world and the largest in Europe. Merchant ships, private yachts, commercial yachts, vessels under construction and bareboat charters can all be registered under the Malta flag. **Q: Who may register a vessel under the Malta flag?** A: Citizens of Malta, the EU, the EEA and Switzerland, and bodies corporate established there, may register directly. International owners typically register through a Maltese shipping company — which may be wholly owned by non-EU shareholders — or by appointing a Malta-based resident agent. **Q: How long does Malta ship registration take?** A: Provisional registration can usually be completed within days once the documentation is in order.
