Pensions

Retirement schemes established in Malta are regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and may become a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) upon recognition by the UK Revenue and Customs (HMRC). A QROPS is a pension scheme which is established and regulated outside the UK but which is recognised in the UK for tax purposes. Consequently, a QROPS provides investment flexibility and with proper planning, tax benefits and tax planning opportunities to individuals who have an accumulated pension in a UK recognised scheme.

Due to an efficient regulator and attractive tax benefits, Malta has proven itself an attractive jurisdiction to set up such schemes.
