Setting Up a Malta Limited with Dr. Werner & Partners
Last updated: 11 February 2026

At Dr. Werner & Partners, we specialize in handling the incorporation of Malta Limited companies. For many international entrepreneurs, restructuring a business in Malta is a huge step. If you don't live on the island yet, the process of internationalizing your company can feel abstract and out of reach. That is why having a trustworthy partner on the ground—someone who knows the subject matter inside out and is always available—is crucial. I personally believe that a comprehensive, one-stop solution is the most straightforward and reliable approach.
Legal forms in English – why you still need advice
Setting up a company abroad always comes with hurdles. Even though English is an official language in Malta, which is a massive advantage compared to other jurisdictions, we frequently hear from founders who find the specific legal terminology in the applications confusing. We often have to step in to fix things. Since the foundation of your company is so critical, I'd recommend only doing it yourself if you are genuinely familiar with Maltese corporate law and bureaucratic procedures.
Tax returns must be flawless to secure the 6/7 refund
Accuracy is even more vital when it comes to bookkeeping and filing regular tax returns. If you want to optimize your taxes in Malta, there is zero margin for error here. In the worst-case scenario, incorrectly declaring operating income and expenses between domestic and international sources could be construed as tax evasion. And as various high-profile cases have shown, tax authorities are cracking down on evasion with severe consequences.
When Dr. Werner & Partners supports you with matters like tax returns, you can rest assured you're on the safe side. Contrary to some misconceptions, saving taxes in Malta is not tax evasion—as long as the details are accurate and the corporate structure (whether a Malta Limited or a Holding model) is set up correctly.
