Malta, gli accordi fiscali

Malta è una giurisdizione tanto particolare quanto interessante dal punto di vista fiscale e giuridico. Le società costituite sull’isola hanno un regime di tassazione del tutto peculiare che, in determinati casi, si dimostra davvero interessante. La corporation tax maltese, infatti, ha un impatto del 35% sugli utili netti della società (questo potrebbe non sembrare intessante visto la tutto sommato aliquota elevata). Tuttavia i soci azionisti non maltesi, possono beneficiare di un refund pari a 6/7, 5/7 o addiruttura 100% di imposta quando i dividendi sono distribuiti. Questo fa si che, a livello dell’azionista, la tassazione possa impattare tra il 5 e il 15% a seconda dei casi. Resta tuttavia ben inteso che tale refund di imposta è possibile solo quando l’azionista riceve la distribuzione degli utili. Un’altro aspetto molto interessante è che non vi è alcuna tassa su stacco dividendi, interessi e royalities che vengono pagati ad azionisti non-maltesi.

Suggeriamo sempre ai clienti di comprendere in modo completo come funziona questo sistema di tassazione, prima di decidere se entrare o meno su questo mercato. Infatti il sistema di tassazione maltese sulle società non sempre si adatta a tutte le esigenze imprenditoriali degli investitori non maltesi, e ciò va considerato in fase di setup del proprio business sull’isola. Possiamo assistervi riguardo la strategia da adottare nel dettaglio. Potete cliccare sul link sottostante per scaricare l’elenco degli accordi fiscali in essere con Malta.
