Section 16 of the Act states: … (b) For the purposes of this Section, a company shall be deemed to be resident only in that country in which its central management and control is situated. 3. Section 46 of the Act states: … (e) In the case of a company which is not incorporated in Maldives, the company’s place of residence shall be determined by reference to the place where the central management and control of the company’s business is, or if that place cannot be ascertained, the place of incorporation or registration shall be the company’s place of residence. Ruling 4. For the purposes of sections 16(b) and 46(e) of the Act, the location of central management and control of a company is the place where the highest level policy decisions of the company are made. The factors which shall be taken into 3 consideration in determining the location of central management and control of a company include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Where meetings of the board of directors of the company are usually held.
