Quazar boosts leadership team with introduction of Tax Partner Josef Mercieca

Quazar has taken another significant step in its growth journey with the appointment of Josef Mercieca as its new Tax Partner. The firm has been steadily expanding its advisory, corporate and tax capabilities, and Mercieca’s arrival marks an important milestone in strengthening its leadership team and specialist expertise.

Over the years, Quazar has developed a reputation for combining technical precision with a practical, client- focused approach. Its advisory style is rooted in collaboration and clarity, supported by a team that works closely with both local entrepreneurs and international groups across corporate administration, accounting, tax and business consultancy.

The firm’s emphasis on knowledge-sharing has also become a defining element of its identity.

Mercieca’s appointment reflects the firm’s commitment to deepening its expertise in an area that is evolving rapidly. With extensive experience in corporate taxation, compliance and structuring, he has built a strong reputation for helping businesses navigate regulatory changes with confidence. His work spans both local and cross-border contexts, making him well-placed to support clients as Malta’s tax framework continues to adapt to international standards.

“I’m thrilled to join a firm that places such emphasis on excellence and innovation,” said Josef Mercieca. “Quazar’s collaborative culture and focus on adding real value for clients make it an exciting environment to help shape the next chapter of its tax practice.”

His appointment comes at a time when businesses are seeking clearer guidance and more strategic insight. Regulatory standards across the EU remain in transition, and firms are required to operate with higher levels of transparency, governance and long-term planning. Quazar’s growth in recent years mirrors this shift, as clients increasingly turn to advisors who can combine technical accuracy with a deeper understanding of the broader commercial context.

Quazar’s ongoing investment in people and processes supports this direction, helping enhance the level of sophistication and expertise available to businesses operating in Malta.

The firm’s expansion in tax and advisory services also contributes to the wider strengthening of Malta’s professional services ecosystem. As the jurisdiction continues to refine its regulatory framework, the presence of well-structured, forward-looking firms becomes essential. Quazar’s ongoing investment in people and processes supports this direction, helping enhance the level of sophistication and expertise available to businesses operating in Malta.

With Mercieca joining the leadership team, Quazar is reinforcing its ability to guide clients through corporate restructuring, international expansion and strategic planning. His analytical approach and practical mindset complement the firm’s existing strengths and reflect its ambition to build a modern, agile advisory practice.

Quazar remains focused on supporting organisations through clarity, responsiveness and informed decision- making. Its vision is to continue building a firm that offers deep technical expertise while maintaining the hands- on, relationship-driven approach that clients value.
