Malta’s Next Move for Family Offices

A few weeks ago, the Malta Financial Services Authority and Residency Malta announced a forthcoming Residency Scheme for Family Offices, aimed at facilitating residence in Malta for UBOs and senior executives within MFSA-authorised family office structures.

The proposed framework forms part of Malta’s broader strategy to attract international families, senior talent, and key decision-makers, while complementing existing regulatory and tax incentives, including the 15% flat tax regime for highly skilled individuals effective from 1 January 2026.

While the scheme has been formally announced, the enabling legislation and detailed guidelines are still awaited. We are excited to see the legislation that will place this new residence programme into force and to assess its full practical impact once implemented.

📌 We will continue to monitor developments closely and share updates as they emerge.
