The Republic of Malta was admitted on 1.5.2004 to the European Union and gained a full EU membership in 2008. As of 1 January 2008, it adopted Euro as its currency. Malta is now an international business and financial center with an effective corporate tax rate of only 5%, the lowest tax rate in the European Union. Thanks to its EU membership, unique tax advantages, low cost of living and many other benefits that international companies receive in Malta, more and more entrepreneurs are forming companies, branches and subsidiaries on the Mediterranean island.
