The  Company Service Providers (Amendment) Act, 2020,  was passed by Parliament as Act No. L of 2020 and published on the 13 November 2020. With the coming into force of Act No. L of 2020, the requirement of MFSA authorisation to provide corporate services has been extended to those previously exempt from authorisation and supervision under the Company Service Providers (CSP) Act (Cap. 529 of the Laws of Malta), namely warranted professionals.

The deadline for applying for an authorisation in order to be able to continue to provide CSP services will expire on 16th May 2021. Any practitioner who would not have applied by the stipulated deadline will be unable to continue to provide CSPs services by way of business.

Any such questions must be sent not later than Tuesday 11th May noon on technical@miamalta.org
