The zero-corporate tax-regime for foreign sourced income and the attractive tax incentives offered by the local authorities make Gibraltar a highly favorable jurisdiction for the right type of investor. It is worth noting that Gibraltar is no longer a member of the European Union or part of the EU customs zone and it is also one of few countries that is fully exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT). Although this may be extremely beneficial for some business models, especially those doing business with the closely located Northern Africa, it renders the jurisdiction at a major disadvantage for companies that wish to trade within the EU. Nonetheless, Gibraltar is one of the few countries in the world that has very diverse financial reporting principles. The country accepts financial statements prepared in accordance with the IAS, IFRS and GAAP standards, which gives a Gibraltar company the ultimate flexibility to adopt its accounting records to its market of interest whether it be in Europe, USA, China, CIS countries or almost any other jurisdiction worldwide. This makes a Gibraltar company a beneficial financial instrument for trading in global securities, especially with the United States. Furthermore, Gibraltar has famed itself for being a progressive e-business center and a crypto-currency friendly jurisdiction. Moreover, it is one of the few countries in the world that has introduced a fully regulated and comprehensive framework for businesses dealing with Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and blockchain activity.

The Gibraltar Companies House offers investors a variety of legal entity forms that can be incorporated in the country. Foreign companies registered in another jurisdiction have the option to be registered as having a presence in Gibraltar either by registering a branch or a place of business and as such take advantage of the incentives offered by the country without losing the status of the jurisdiction of origin. Investors that wish to incorporate an entity in Gibraltar have the choice to form a Foundation, Trust, Protected Cell Company, Sole Proprietorship, Limited Partnership, and the popular Limited Liability Company and Limited Liability Partnership. Our highly trained professional team can advise you with the selection of the right type of entity for your particular business and will gladly guide you through the entire incorporation process. Our firm also specializes in the formation and management of public companies and can assist you with the listing of your company on the stock exchange.
