- Directors and representatives are jointly and severally liable with their companies for VAT obligations under the VAT Act, even if the company is struck off, wound up, or liquidated.
- Maltese courts in 2025 confirmed this liability in several cases.
- One director received a suspended prison sentence and was ordered to repay unremitted VAT.
- Another director remained personally liable for unpaid VAT and unsubmitted returns even after the company was struck off, receiving a fine and daily penalties for continued noncompliance.
