Offshore and International Company Formation

Offshore Jurisdictions: Gibraltar

Gibraltar has introduced very similar money laundering legislation to both the Isle of Man and Jersey. However, unlike these two jurisdictions it is part of the European Union. It has no double taxation treaty network and gained a very bad reputation in the 1980's due to a number of high profile scandals. Non-resident companies are not subject to the same level of due diligence or monitoring as exempt companies.

As with all other respectable European offshore jurisdictions information will be released if illicit transactions are claimed. Most of the recent UK Criminal Justice Act provisions tightening up money laundering and anti-drug enforcement regulations are currently being redrafted for local implementation.
