About M. Meilak & Associates

Founded in 2006 by Malcolm Mejlaq, who began in a home office in Victoria, this Gozo-headquartered practice also keeps a Malta office at the Dragonara Business Centre in St Julian's. It describes itself as a one-stop shop for accounting, tax and immigration and says it serves customers worldwide. Much of its work targets people and companies relocating to Malta, including digital nomads, retirees, startup founders and foreign investors. The founder is a licensed company service provider and an authorised agent for the country's residence and citizenship programmes, so the same team can handle company set-up, tax registration, residence applications and bank introductions. The office states that it works in Maltese, English, Italian, French and German, and one relocation specialist also speaks Hungarian. Accounting runs on cloud software with two named contacts per client. The firm reports a 2019 award for tax advisory from a media company, publishes regular tax and immigration articles and offers a free online assessment tool.
