MFSA and MTCA strengthen inter-authority collaboration through new MoU

The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and the Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen supervisory oversight in Malta’s financial services and taxation.

The agreement, signed on 24 February, reinforces the commitment of both authorities to enhance supervision, improve information sharing, and support national compliance efforts.

The MoU establishes a structured framework for collaboration, enabling the MFSA and MTCA to better fulfil their statutory responsibilities. This includes the more effective identification of non‑compliant entities operating in Malta, as well as coordinated action in line with each authority’s legal mandate.

Through this agreement, the MFSA and MTCA will expand their cooperation across several key areas, including:

• Enhanced information exchange to support supervisory and enforcement functions
• Joint training and education initiatives to strengthen regulatory and operational expertise
• Opportunities for staff secondments between the two authorities, facilitating knowledge transfer and capacity building

This collaboration underscores the shared commitment of Malta’s financial and tax authorities to safeguard the integrity of the jurisdiction, promote compliance, and support a well‑regulated financial services sector.
