Gibraltar

Company Formation in GibraltarGibraltar has long been a favourite for companies wishing to benefit from the low-tax regime and excellent telecommunications facilities. The financial services and technology sectors are growing rapidly. In conclusion the economy is looking very stable with strong growth for the future. Gibraltar is a very favourable offshore jurisdiction but with all the benefits of being based in Europe. Compliance procedures are strict in Gibraltar but this adds to the growing stature that Gibraltar is developing as a safe and secure offshore jurisdiction.

Why  Gibraltar ? – A jurisdiction of internationally noted quality:

  • Conduct your business in a quality low-tax jurisdiction which incorporates low levels of corporate tax. A stable currency with few restrictions in moving capital or repatriating dividends.
  • A legal system modelled on the English structure contributes to making Gibraltar the duly regulated, globally acclaimed jurisdiction it is today.
  • Start-up incentives, including a start-up rate of 10% applicable to any new businesses established in Gibraltar after 1 July 2009.
  • Benefits from EU membership.
  • A multi-skilled, suitably qualified workforce with training assistance to update skills as and when needed.
  • Legislation is in place to encourage High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and High Executives Possessing Specialist Skills (HEPSS) to establish tax residency in Gibraltar, affording them the opportunity to have the tax payable on their income restricted to a capped amount.
  • Gibraltar relishes from warm summers and mild winters – around 300 days of sunshine – and a high quality of life, with a wide variety of sporting, cultural and entertainment facilities, both in and around Gibraltar (an enviable lifestyle with the professionalism and vibrancy of a modern yet mature location).
