Note: Much of the data included here was based on year-end 2018 data. We are in the process of updating it with year-end 2019 data. Going forward we will be verifying all fields either directly with the domicile, or by using credible and confirmed data sources. If you represent a domicile or domicile association and are able to update and complete the data fields, please use this form. All data will be verified by CICA before it is published and will include the date and source of the update.

Applicable Acts/Enabling Legislation
The most recent significant change to MT captive law is the adoption of dormant captive status. Allows for a captive insurance company, that is not a RRG, that meets the necessary standards to apply for a dormant captive insurance company certificate. This certificate of dormancy is only valid for a 5 year period and the dormant captive insurance company is responsible to maintain no less than $25,000 in capital & surplus and a $1,000 per year dormancy tax.
