What is a non-resident Gibraltar company?
Gibraltar is a microstate in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The total area of the country is only 6.5 square kilometers (2.5 square miles).
Officially, Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the British Crown but it is a separate EU member state and it handles the tax issues on its own. This fact makes Gibraltar a special place to register a business company.
In particular, a non-resident Gibraltar company does not have to pay any local taxes just the way it is (or rather, it was) with classical offshore jurisdictions.
What exactly is a non-resident Gibraltar company?
There are three requirements that a business company has to meet in order to qualify for the ‘non-resident’ status:
- The company owner shall be non-resident in Gibraltar;
- All the company business operations shall be performed outside Gibraltar;
- Company directors and CEO’s shall be whether non-residents of the country or professional licensed nominee directors/ shareholders.
If these conditions are satisfied, the fiscal authorities of Gibraltar do not deem the company taxable. That means that no corporate tax, nor the VAT, nor the capital gains tax, nor the inheritance tax need to be paid by the company.
A non-resident company shall have at least one director and one shareholder (proprietor). Both of these positions can be held by physical persons or by corporate entities.
In addition to that, a non-resident Gibraltar company shall have a legal address, a set of corporate documents, a secretary, and a company seal. The company shall keep financial records that are to be signed by the director. Auditing the records is not obligatory.
It is important to bear in mind that the Gibraltar Company Register will have the information about the company owners and directors.
For the sake of the company UBO’s (Ultimate Beneficiary Owner’s) confidentiality, nominee directors can be hired. However, the UBO’s personality shall be revealed to the Registrar. Unless it is, registering the company and acquiring banking services is going to be impossible.
The cost of the nominee service is already included in the price of the overall service package quoted in the title of the text. You can reject the offer of the nominee service but the price will remain the same.
The company can be registered in Gibraltar within five business days.

What is an offshore in simple terms?
The word ‘offshore’ can be used in two different meanings. First, it can mean ‘a tax haven’ or a ‘zero-tax jurisdiction’. Second, it can mean ‘a foreign country’. If you reside in Poland, for example, your foreign company can be referred to as an offshore company whether it is registered in the British Virgin Islands or in Switzerland when the word ‘offshore’ is used in the second sense. The same goes for the bank account that can be referred to as ‘a foreign bank account’ or, alternatively, ‘an offshore bank account’.
