Gibraltar
Why choose this jurisdiction when starting a business?
Gibraltar is a small peninsula located on the southern coast of Spain. It covers a total area of 6.5 sq km and its coastline stretches for 12 km only; there is a 1,2 km borderline with Spain. The Strait of Gibraltar links the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.
Together with the highly reputable British Isles of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, the crown colony of Gibraltar belongs to High Disclosure Offshore Centres which provide for greater legal certainty. It is the only British offshore centre that can and will increasingly be able to provide financial institutions with passporting rights and access to the single European market for financial services.
A number of factors make Gibraltar an attractive place to conduct offshore business:
- Good geographical location and bilingual (English and Spanish) territory;
- Cost effectiveness and attractive fiscal regime for offshore investors;
- Excellent reputation, stable government and special status within the European Union;
- Excellent infrastructure and communications;
- Favorable tax status for offshore banks;
- No exchange controls;
- The only EU finance centre exempt from value added tax (VAT);
- Gibraltar is not included on “black-list” of FATF.
