Legal market overview

Gibraltar’s funds industry is continuing to develop, as the jurisdiction’s heightened transparency and low overheads attract new foreign investors, and significant financial services work has been generated by the recent incorporation of EU directives as well as Gibraltar’s collaboration with the US Ministry of Justice over tax evasion. The country’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) is also coming under increased scrutiny following the collapse of two national insurers, Hills and Lemma, in late 2012. The country’s thriving gaming industry continues to attract new international companies and is beginning to diversify, with businesses such as games platform developers seeking to enter the jurisdiction. Other growth areas include shipping arrests, with banks showing increased willingness to prosecute; high-net-worth individuals seeking ‘Category 2’ tax status; and instructions arising from recent institution of the High Executive Possessing Specialist Skills (HEPSS) status.

  • International Tax Planning Association Journal – Madrid 19-20 March 2012 – Vol XII Number 3

    When we talk about Gibraltar and the EU perspective, we really are talking about a defining element of what has been driving Gibraltar over the last twenty-five or thirty years. Our membership of the European Union is not something that has been incidental and has not had a dramatic impact on Gibraltar; it has been very important in the direction that Gibraltar has taken over that period of time. Gibraltar - as you know - is attached to Southern Spain. Gibraltar and its position in the European Union is quite a fascinating study and a fascinating situation to explain.
