Gibraltar as an offshore company tax haven
A number of factors make Gibraltar attractive for offshore business conduct; 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.
Gibraltar also has an attractive trust regime. Trusts created by non-residents that generate overseas income are exempt from Gibraltar income tax.
