That's a better deal than Andorra for businesses with high profit margins.
Have an employee there (cheap), establish an economic substance, and no EU country can appropriate the company with CFC rules, you can reside anywhere. No need for residency visa and waiting months for permissions, freedom to move around.
Reside in Malta, pay yourself dividends, never transfer them directly to Malta, and pay ~6% total tax.
Seems too good to be true though. Is this it︀ or am I missing something?
