Bill No. 233 proposes various amendments to the Companies Act (chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta). The amendments primarily relate to clarifying the qualifications for persons to act as directors of Maltese companies (including specifically inserting as a disqualification the lack of a company service provider’s (CSP) licence in cases where one is required) and introducing new address requirements for companies and their officers. Although at a glance the changes may not seem extensive, if the bill is enacted in its current form, CSPs servicing multiple companies may need to appropriately rejig their systems to ensure effective compliance with the new requirements – a process that needs its due time.
