Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in Malta
The Maltese archipelago of seven islands includes the islands of Malta, Gozo, Comino, Comminotto and Filfla. It has a history of colonial control spanning centuries and has been occupied by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and latterly France and Britain.
Located in the Mediterranean Sea, the Republic of Malta lies 93 kilometres south of Sicily, east of Tunisia and north of Libya. Three of the islands remain inhabited, featuring low hills with terraced landscapes many home to thriving cotton fields.
With a vibrant colour scheme contrasting honey coloured stone against deep turquoise tones of the sea, near year-round sun and a rich 7000 year history, it is easy to see why Malta is a popular destination for holiday makers. Beyond the vacation appeal however is a rich culture and impressive economic history. This has formed the foundation for many offshore companies who have established a base in Malta, providing professionals with a rewarding work-life balance.
With mild winters and hot dry summers, the climate in Malta is Mediterranean. Temperatures in the peak of summer can reach 104oF (40oC) and in winter 59oF (15oC). Flights from the UK take approximately three hours.
Over the centuries, Malta's strategic position fostered its development as an important trading post and it remains a leading centre for container and freight transhipment. Malta is a popular holiday destination and tourism is the nation's main source of income.
Independence from Britain was achieved in 1964, after the Maltese people were awarded the George Cross for defending the island during World War II. Forty years on, Malta was the smallest of the 10 countries to join the EU in May 2004, joining the euro zone in 2008. Its parliamentary system and public administration are closely modelled on that of Westminster. Direct tax ranges between 15% and 35% making it an increasingly popular location for organisations to invest in.
