Uses of Gibraltar Companies

Gibraltar companies are widely used for holding property assets, for trading and re-invoicing activities, and to act as investment holding companies.

Gibraltar is fully bilingual in English and Spanish and produces documentation in both languages, a major reason why Gibraltar companies have been widely used for holding Spanish property.

Gibraltar is an important offshore jurisdiction for incorporating and administering companies and trusts.  There are three main types in Gibraltar but the tax exempt company is the most commonly used and can be utilised for a broad range of activities. Gibraltar has no double tax treaties at all and no exchange of fiscal information unless criminal fraud is proven to the satisfaction of the Gibraltar courts.
