Accounting support for business in Malta
Malta has long been a leading jurisdiction attracting international business, especially among non-residents of Malta. Thanks to its favorable tax regime, EU membership, and developed financial infrastructure, the country has become a reliable platform for companies operating in the European and global markets. However, one of the key conditions for the successful functioning of a business is, of course, proper accounting and compliance with all local legislation.
Our team at the Law Firm “Prikhodko & Partners” provides comprehensive services in Malta, including accounting support services in Malta, helping clients avoid fines, optimize the tax burden, and ensure transparent financial reporting for investors, banks, and regulatory authorities.
Why is accounting support in Malta of strategic importance?
Accounting is not only a tool for reflecting financial transactions. For businesses in Malta, it is also the key to interacting with tax authorities, banks and potential partners.
- Compliance control. Maltese companies are required to submit annual financial statements and undergo an audit (in most cases).
- Tax transparency. Malta is known for its unique mechanism for tax refunds to shareholders, which allows you to effectively reduce your tax burden. Without proper accounting support, it is almost impossible to take advantage of these benefits.
- Financial reputation. Timely and high-quality reporting increases the trust of counterparties and facilitates the process of opening bank accounts.
What are the main accounting requirements in Malta?
Accounting is regulated by the Companies Act and is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Key requirements include:
- Financial reporting. Companies are required to file annual accounts with the Registrar of Companies each year.
- Audit. Most companies are required to undergo an annual audit, with the exception of small businesses that meet criteria regarding turnover, assets and number of employees.
- Tax returns. Legal entities file annual tax returns, including corporation tax.
- Document retention. Accounting books and primary documents must be retained for at least 10 years.
- Accounting language and currency. Documentation is maintained in English and financial statements are prepared in euros.
Tax aspects
Malta is known for its flexible approach to corporate taxation. The nominal corporate tax rate is 35%, but thanks to the tax refund system, the effective rate can be reduced to 5-10%. This is one of the main reasons why foreign companies choose Malta.
Please note that in order to properly use tax benefits, professional accounting support is required, which includes:
- preparation and submission of corporate tax returns;
- application of the tax refund mechanism to shareholders;
- analysis of double taxation in accordance with international conventions;
- planning of financial flows within a group of companies.
As previously noted, our team provides a full range of services necessary for business in Malta:

Why should you pay attention to Malta?
Malta remains one of the most attractive financial centers in Europe due to a combination of the following factors:
- low effective tax burden;
- stable legal system based on the British model;
- beneficial double taxation agreements with more than 70 countries;
- positive image in the international business community.
That is why it is important for many companies not only to register a business in Malta, but also to ensure its proper accounting support, which will be the key to long-term development.
Accounting support in Malta is a key tool for effective business management and risk minimization. It allows you to not only comply with local legislation, but also take advantage of the Maltese tax system.
