Overview
Malta’s long-standing involvement in the maritime sector has led to the establishment of the Maltese jurisdiction as a leading maritime hub and services centre. Malta is strategically located at the centre of the Mediterranean and boasts natural harbours, a highly experienced, professional & knowledgeable workforce and a strong regulatory framework.
For all the above reasons, and more, today Malta can proudly admit to being one of the most popular jurisdictions in the sphere of yachting. In fact, besides offering yacht owners an array of attractive solutions, Malta enjoys one of the most popular yacht leasing systems in the European Union, due to its ability to significantly reduce the amount of Malta VAT payable on the yacht value.
