Malta's Allure: Tax Advantages and Residency Opportunities
Favorable Tax Regime
Malta's Non-Domiciled tax regime presents a superior alternative to Portugal's, which has recently closed, without the restrictive 10-year limitation. This makes Malta an attractive destination for high-net-worth individuals seeking a favorable tax environment.
Residency by Investment
The closure of the UK's Non-Dom tax regime has led numerous UK HNWIs to relocate to Malta, capitalizing on the country's residency by investment program. This has contributed to a significant surge in property prices, offering strong investment returns with potential for further growth.
Relaxed Regulatory Environment
Compared to other European zero tax financial hubs like Monaco, Malta offers a relaxed environment within the Schengen territory with a much lower cost of living burden and more convenient access to flights around the world.
Cité Privée: A Convergence of History and Luxury
Historic Charm
The property, dating back to 1650, has undergone a meticulous two-year conversion from a residence to a commercial hotel, capitalizing on its proximity of just fifty meters to the Cospicua superyacht marina and preserving its rich historical significance.
Modern Amenities
Designed to meet the highest standards, the hotel features modern installations, including advanced electronics, plumbing, underfloor heating, and built-in dehumidifiers, tailored to the humid Maltese climate and ensuring guest comfort.
