The Maltese authorities encourage the setting up of foreign operations that offer back office administration and support services to other foreign enterprises, including routine administrative and clerical services in relation to or in support of any type of business or professional activity.

Our firm can provide assistance in the setting up and implementation of the corporate structure necessary to benefit from:

• A low rate of tax
• An extensive range of double taxation agreements which support effective tax planning
• Factory and office premises at low rental costs
• A well-educated workforce and professionally qualified and trained personnel

This incentive is applicable to a wide sphere of activities and qualifying activities may include any routine administrative, basic book-keeping and analogous administrative support services extending to the processing and recording of invoices, sales transactions, and accounts management information reporting. Back office activities could therefore include such a diverse range of administrative tasks and routine services such as administrative tasks in support of trust services, shipping and maritime trade, processing and filling of insurance claims forms, and administrative work involved in fund administration business and other professional services.
