Joint Seminar on The Shell Companies Directive (ATAD 3): Understanding its Impact on the Maltese Corporate and Financial Services Sector

Joint Seminar on The Shell Companies Directive (ATAD 3): Understanding its Impact on the Maltese Corporate and Financial Services Sector

On 22 December 2021, the European Commission published proposals concerning shell companies and minimum substance requirements. The proposal as currently drafted is likely to have a material impact across the European Union, as well as on Malta’s corporate and financial services industry and, potentially, the broader economy. This session is intended to introduce participants to the policy objectives and structural mechanics of the directive, as well as to debate the general direction of travel of EU tax policy. If you are a director on, or an advisor to, a company that may be within the scope of the directive, then knowledge of the potential implications of this draft directive is considered to be essential as 2022 is already within the proposed lookback period.

This seminar is organised jointly by the IFSP, MIT and MIA. It has been assigned 2.5 hours of core CPE by the MIA.  It will be held on the 4th of March at 9.30am on Zoom.
