International Tax

Chetcuti Cauchi takes pride in its sterling reputation as an international firm. Its international nature has helped the firm develop an international mindset in its dealings. Accordingly, our firm has gained an excellent reputation as a multidisciplinary firm of choice among its international clients made up of high net worth individuals, owner managed businesses, and large bodies corporate.

The firm is headquartered in Malta which gives us extensive knowledge on the workings of the jurisdiction; however we seek to tailor our services and provide comprehensive advice according to the needs of the client, rather than promoting services which are specific to one jurisdiction. With this mentality, we involve ourselves in the daily structuring of transactions in a variety of jurisdictions. Whilst maintaining a client-oriented approach, we provide insight into the use of multiple jurisdictions in order to achieve optimal results in our clients' International Tax Law matters. 

Our International Tax Law Advisory Practice

Our international tax law advisory practice brings to the table a strategic mix of expertise from various professionals who specialise in different disciplines, thus providing a harmonised service which brings together the legal and the accounting professions under one roof. This allows us to provide clients with a truly comprehensive package that truly meets their needs.

We have vast experience in counselling clients coming from an array of sectors including pharmaceutical, iGaming, financial services, information technology, education, natural resources, high-tech manufacture and fashion, with their international tax law matters. Our handpicked International Tax Law team is composed of seasoned individuals who are award-winning experts in their field and can guarantee the most effective advice to our clients.

International Tax: Strategy and Compliance

At Chetcuti Cauchi, practicality is of utmost importance to our professionals who always seek to provide solutions that work in reality, not just on paper. We aim to provide a highly precise service which can be practically implemented, taking into account the day-to-day needs of any business. We carefully plan solutions which are not cumbrous to implement and avoid introducing unnecessary complexities that will burden our clients’ dealings. We know that clients seek simple solutions which work well in optimising the operation of their business, and therefore simplicity is high on our agenda in all our structuring engagements.

We start off by analysing the most effective and practical strategy and duly move on to implementing it. Our firm’s multi-disciplinary nature helps us to truly provide a coordinated service to our clients, as our seasoned team of lawyers, accountants and corporate services professionals work hand in hand in order to guide them through each stage of the implementation process, providing them with thorough, on the ground support and advice before and after implementation.

Global Corporate Tax Network

As an independent Maltese firm with deep roots in international tax and legal services, Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates benefits from its membership in the Andersen Global network — a worldwide association of leading tax, legal, valuation and advisory practices. Andersen’s recent initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ANDG) underscores the strength, credibility and global momentum of the broader Andersen platform, particularly in tax and advisory services. This affiliation enhances our ability to deliver sophisticated cross-border tax planning, compliance and strategic advice, drawing on the collective insight of professionals across more than 170 countries while reinforcing our commitment to excellence and scale in serving multinational clients and high-net-worth families.

While we are proud of our close ties with Andersen and the benefits of this global network, Chetcuti Cauchi remains fully independent and is not restricted to working exclusively with any single network. In serving clients’ diverse and specialised needs, we routinely collaborate with the world’s leading national and international tax firms, selected on the basis of subject-matter expertise and client preference. This flexible, client-centric approach ensures that our clients receive the right combination of global knowledge and bespoke support for every engagement — from complex international tax structuring to bespoke advisory solutions in jurisdictions around the world.
