Deciding Between Self-Employment and Incorporation in Malta: Key Factors to Consider

Malta, with its strategic location and business-friendly environment, continues to be a prime destination for entrepreneurs. However, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to incorporate a company or operate as a self-employed individual. Both options come with their own set of advantages and challenges, so understanding the key differences will help you make the right choice based on your circumstances.

When considering the best structure for your business, it’s best to know more about:

  • Costs for the set up
  • Tax considerations
  • VAT considerations
  • Administrative requirements
  • Social security
  • National insurance contributions
  • Risk and liability

Understanding the paperwork and regulations for becoming self-employed can feel overwhelming. Being self-employed in Malta means operating as a sole trader or freelancer, where you manage your own business activities while complying with legal and tax obligations. This involves registering your business, keeping accurate financial records, and filing tax returns on a regular basis.

Steps to Becoming Self-Employed in Malta:

  • Registering yourself with Jobsplus
  • Obtaining a VAT number
  • Making social security contributions
  • Maintaining financial records
  • Filing tax returns

Whether you choose to operate as self-employed or incorporate a company in Malta depends on your business model, risk tolerance, and long-term goals. Self-employment may be simpler and more cost-effective for individuals looking to start small, but incorporation offers tax advantages, liability protection, and better growth potential for those planning to expand.
