RSM Malta

By Legal Notice 173 of 2026, Malta has implemented the Pay Transparency Directive through the ‘Equal Pay (Transparency and Reporting) Regulations 2026’, effective 5 June 2026.

These regulations are already in force, making obligations such as job categorisation for equal value, employees’ access to pay information, and transparent pay criteria mandatory for all employers.

They introduce strict timelines for pay gap reporting and information requests, broaden transparency requirements, and strengthen enforcement, with implications for litigation. Notably, provisions on existing collective agreements and the single-source argument are of interest.

RSM Malta Director Roberta Buhagiar and Yashar Dominic Klipp, Consultant – Organisational and People Advisory, together with Matthew Brincat and Lara Pace from Ganado Advocates in collaboration with The Malta Chamber, will lead an interactive webinar covering key developments, clarifications, and practical steps to comply.

“Individual commitment to a group effort, that is what makes a team work, a company work.” ~ Vince Lombardi.

This quote framed our latest Quarterly Townhall Meeting and reflected the focus of the morning: continuous learning, knowledge sharing across the network, community impact, and recognising the people behind our progress.

Throughout the session, colleagues across the firm shared insights and experiences, highlighting how individual contribution shapes our direction as a team.

We were also pleased to welcome Fabio Spiteri, who joined us just days after completing the Double Deca. He shared reflections on his training journey, his perspective on motivation and discipline, and how he has used his platform to support causes through fundraising. 🏃

What stood out was not only the scale of the achievement, but the discipline behind it, and the reality that no milestone is reached alone, but through the contribution of many, a reminder that individual effort can extend well beyond personal goals and create meaningful impact for others. 🤝

The Micro Invest Scheme 2026–2030, administered by Malta Enterprise, sets out the tax credit framework available to eligible small businesses in Malta, including self-employed persons.

The scheme provides tax credits of up to 65% of eligible expenditure (up to 85% for Gozo-based operations), with support of up to €65,000 over a three-year period, and additional bonuses applicable in specific cases.

RSM Malta supports businesses in assessing eligibility and structuring claims under this scheme, with a focus on aligning the claim with the underlying investment activity and ensuring compliance with scheme requirements.

Our CSR Week brought us closer to the community we live and work in. 🤝🌎

For a few hours each, our people stepped out into different corners of the Maltese Islands to support organisations doing vital work every day. Together, those hours added up to something truly meaningful, a collective contribution that reflects what can happen when everyone gives a small part of their time.

What mattered most was the reminder that community isn’t “out there”, it’s our neighbours, our families, and the people behind the causes we choose to stand with. And when we show up together, even in small ways, the ripple travels far.
