Corporate compliance in Malta is a complex legal requirement for all Maltese registered companies. A director is usually an employee as well as a officeholder and it is often prudent for the terms of employment to be set out clearly in a written service agreement or, where the director is an independent contractor, in a consultancy agreement. Appointment as a director should not be accepted without an understanding of the duties existing under the Companies Act, other legislation including tax and VAT implications.
