Trusts and Trustees Act (Register of Beneficial Owners) (Amendment) Regulations, 2026

This regulation updates the rules regarding the registration of beneficial owners within trusts and trustee structures. It aims to enhance transparency by ensuring that the individuals who ultimately control or benefit from these legal arrangements are accurately recorded in a central register. Legal entities, trustees, and individuals managing trusts in Malta will be affected. These changes ensure compliance with updated transparency standards and aim to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and tax evasion.
