MALTA

Malta is a respected, English-speaking financial centre with a robust overseas pension scheme legislation.
Malta has established itself as a leading Pension jurisdiction offering management and administration of personal pension schemes. Malta’s success is due to its highly regulated financial services sector and being a full member of European Union.

Malta offers solutions to the UK market and also other European cross-border schemes. The Retirement Pensions Act (Chapter 514 of the Laws of Malta) came into force on 1st January 2015. The new Regulations and Pension Rules also came into force on 1st January 2015.

A new set of Regulations and Pensions Rules have been issued under the Act to supplement the legal framework for the licensing and regulation of Retirement Schemes (both Occupational and Personal), Retirement Funds and Service Providers related thereto, as well as for the requirement of recognition for persons carrying on back-office administrative services
