US–Malta Tax Advisory

Malta Tax Planning for Americans

For Americans, Malta tax advice is most effective when it is grounded in real-life facts: where the family spends time, where income arises, how assets are held, and how governance works in practice. Malta-side planning often intersects with immigration status, private client structuring, and longer-term family objectives. Our role is to translate Maltese tax rules into an implementable plan – with clear steps, clear documentation expectations, and a realistic compliance roadmap.

Why Malta Can Work Well for US-connected Families and Entrepreneurs

Malta is often selected as a European base because it offers a stable EU environment with an English-speaking professional ecosystem. For U.S. families, Malta can support a structured European footprint while allowing planning to be built around real-world considerations: family life, business travel, investment decisions and long-term succession objectives. The result is not a “one-off plan”, but a position that can remain workable and defensible as circumstances evolve.

Our US–Malta Tax Advisory Expertise

We advise on Malta-side tax matters that commonly arise for U.S. nationals and U.S.-connected families, including residence planning, personal and family structuring, Malta-linked holding and operating structures, governance and compliance planning, and ongoing advisory support. Where matters overlap with private client and family planning, we coordinate internally across our tax, corporate, immigration and private client capabilities so clients receive one coherent roadmap rather than separate workstreams.

Coordinating With U.S. Tax Advisors

We do not provide U.S. domestic tax advice in-house. Our role is to provide U.S.-experienced Maltese tax advice and to ensure that Malta-side planning can be implemented in a way that remains consistent with U.S. filings and disclosures. Where U.S. input is needed, we work efficiently with a U.S. tax advisor of the client’s choice or with U.S. professionals within our international network, including Andersen Tax in the United States (as an independent member firm within Andersen Global). This approach helps reduce friction, avoid duplicated work, and keep the overall plan aligned across jurisdictions.

Our US Focus and Strengths

For over 25 years, our lawyers and tax advisors have supported American clients and U.S.-connected families on Malta-related structuring, residence planning, and cross-border private client matters. Our U.S. focus is reinforced through long-standing work with U.S. counsel and advisors and through professional engagement relevant to U.S.-facing mobility and compliance work, including membership of American Immigration Lawyers Association and the American Bar Association (as applicable to individual team members). We are accustomed to advising clients who need Malta planning to work alongside U.S. compliance realities, and we structure our work accordingly.

How Our US–Malta Tax Advisors Can Help

We assist with Malta-side residence planning, structuring and implementation support, coordination with U.S. advisors, and ongoing advisory as family and business circumstances evolve. Where a matter involves immigration status, property planning or succession structuring, we coordinate internally so that the Malta legal and tax position remains consistent across the full client profile.
