Gibraltar
Limited Company
General Info
Procedures to incorporate
Gibraltar is currently one of the best countries to do business in, according to foreign investors who come here because of the favorable taxation system; Gibraltar has one of the lowest tax rates in Europe, with a standard Corporate tax rate of only 15% for its local companies, while non-resident companies are full tax exempt, since members and managers are not resident in Gibraltar.
Investors interested in starting a company in the British territory can rely on our company formation services in Gibraltar.
Strategically important, Gibraltar is a full member of the European Union but considered an offshore jurisdiction because it is a dependent territory of the United Kingdom. It does not participate in the common tariff and agricultural policy and does not levy Value Added Tax (VAT). The European Court of First instance recognised Gibraltar’s right to regulate its own tax regime in December 2008, which has further emphasised the attractiveness of Gibraltar as an excellent offshore jurisdiction.
