Written by The Malta Business Registry (MBR), in collaboration with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA), wish to inform the company service providers, all subject persons and the general public that, as from 1st December 2025, a single point of online submission will be introduced for the following forms through the BAROS platform:
- Form T – Transfer of Shares
- Form H – Return of Allotments
- MSR Form F – Transfer of Shares
This facility will apply exclusively to exempt share transfers in respect of which there is a valid determination issued in terms of Article 47 of the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act that require filing under Schedule E, as well as transactions that are exempt from filing a capital gains schedule. Additionally, clients will need to upload the necessary documents required by the MTCA via BAROS, duly signed with a qualified electronic signature, in accordance with the applicable MTCA guidelines. On the other hand, transactions involving the payment of stamp duty or capital gains shall continue to be processed under the existing procedures until further notice.
Through this enhancement, clients will no longer be required to print these forms or present physical documents for endorsement at the MTCA desk hosted at the MBR offices. All online submissions will be processed entirely via BAROS.
Kindly refer to Section 7 – Share Transfers and Return of Allotments in the BAROS User Guidelines.
This initiative forms part of the MBR’s ongoing digital transformation efforts, aimed at improving efficiency and enhancing service delivery.
For further information or assistance, please get in touch with the MBR (ictsupport.mbr@mbr.mt / 22582300) and the MTCA (ictusharetransfer.mtca@gov.mt / 22582200) through the usual communication channels.
