Most efficient company

[void]

Let say you can choose from UK, Ireland and Malta to form a company.
Which company type and where would be your choice if the lowest tax rate is your main criteria. The company would be used temporarily for maybe a year or two tops.
If the answer depends on other parameters please ask.
Thanks

In terms of just tax rates, it's pretty easy. Ireland has the lowest with 12.50% (UK 19% and Malta 35%).

You can achieve a much lower tax rate in Malta, usually around 5% net, by first paying the 35% and then applying for a tax rebate. The tax rebate is pretty easy to get as long as it's all set up correctly, but setting it up can be quite costly.

The Irish tax rate goes up to 25% for certain activities, so do your due research to make sure you don't qualify for that.
