Vat On Maltese Registered Pleasure Yachts
The Maltese VAT department has embarked on an attractive VAT incentive package on VAT payment applicable to yacht leasing. These incentives apply to scenarios where a Maltese company purchases a pleasure yacht and enters into a “lease-sale” of the yacht with a third party. The aim of the scheme is that of assisting yacht owners to pay VAT on their yachts at an attractive VAT rate so as to place them within free circulation within the EU.
Holding Companies
Malta, an EU Member State since May 2004, has developed into a leading and reputable financial centre and offers an at- tractive and competitive environment for international business and investment. Its culture, multilingual population, geographical position, qualified professionals, opportunities for efficient tax structuring, relatively low costs for management and administration, and its state of the art telecommunications, gives the added advantage over other jurisdictions.
