Securitisation Structuring

There are many possible forms of securitization, which on their own or also combined with the inclusion of other possible SPVs could result in a number of tax advantages, including the following:
-
Activities of a SCC can achieve tax neutrality and non-Maltese resident originators and investors can typically also achieve additional tax advantages;
-
Malta’s double taxation agreements permits additional advantages on the underlying assets, particularly when held through SPVs;
-
Activities which are core and essential to the management of securitization are not subject to VAT.
The following is a possible multi-structure, involving:
-
1 public company (SCC Plc), held by shareholders;
-
Receiving 4 transactions from originators, 3 of which through SPVs;
-
SCC Plc will issue 4 Cells;
-
2 of which Cells have issued listed instruments on a stock-exchange; and
-
2 of which Cells have made private placement investments, with 1 of them having a credit enhancement.
