Non-Resident Companies

A non-resident company can be incorporated within five days.

The essential requirements for incorporating a limited company are:

• Your company must be owned by persons who are not resident in Gibraltar.
• Your company may not trade or carry on business in Gibraltar with residents of Gibraltar.
• Your company must maintain its Company Register, Registered Office and resident Company Secretary in Gibraltar. 
• Your company may have a bank account in Gibraltar and still not be classed as tax resident.
• Your company name must not be similar to any existing company registered in Gibraltar.
• The Registered Office and Shareholder Register must be in Gibraltar
• Documents to be filed at the Companies Registry are the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the registered office address and the names and addresses of directors and shareholders

To qualify as non-resident, it must:

• Have foreign beneficial owners only
• Not trade locally in Gibraltar
• Not remit its income into Gibraltar

Such a company will not be considered a tax resident in Gibraltar and will thus not have to register for tax purposes for as long as it continues to trade internationally.

If the criteria are satisfied, a Gibraltar company will be considered non-resident. As such, it will not fall under the Gibraltar tax system and will not be required to register for Gibraltar taxation purposes.
