Malta News & Insights
The Maltese tax authorities have introduced a framework allowing companies within the same group to elect to be treated as a single taxpayer. This development presents a significant opportunity for eligible corporate groups to streamline their tax compliance and potentially achieve more efficient tax outcomes.
The Maltese authorities have long prioritised innovation and have, over the years, introduced several pro-business incentives to attract tech companies, R&D-driven enterprises, and intellectual property (IP) owners. Central to this strategy is the Patent Box Regime, introduced in 2019, which provides significant tax benefits for companies generating income from qualifying IP.
Private equity and venture capital funds operate in a dynamic environment where agility, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency are essential. From early-stage funds backing their first start-ups to growth-stage managers scaling multi-jurisdictional portfolios, the right administrative infrastructure plays a critical role in enabling sustainable success. Behind the scenes, fund administrators offer essential support, allowing managers to focus on sourcing investments, building relationships, and driving portfolio value.
In the global financial ecosystem, a diligent approach to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) practices is essential to maintaining trust, transparency, and regulatory compliance.

As investor demand for digital assets continues to rise, fund managers are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape marked by new complexities in portfolio management, custody, and administration. In this context, partnering with the right fund administrator can make a decisive difference - helping managers meet operational, regulatory, and investor expectations with greater confidence and efficiency.
