Offshore Professional Services in Gibraltar
A British Overseas Territory at the gateway to Europe with a pioneering DLT regulatory framework, strong insurance sector and UK-aligned financial services regulation. Browse professional service firms regulated by the GFSC.
Why Gibraltar?
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory situated at the entrance to the Mediterranean, offering a unique combination of UK-aligned legal and regulatory frameworks, a strategic European location and a progressive approach to financial services regulation. Its financial sector was built on corporate structuring and private banking but has evolved significantly in recent decades to encompass e-money, online gaming and digital asset services.
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) is the regulatory body for the financial services industry in Gibraltar. It supervises a broad range of firms including auditors, banks, company managers, e-money institutions, professional trustees, payment services providers, funds, insurance companies, investment firms and DLT providers. In 2018, Gibraltar became one of the first jurisdictions in the world to regulate Distributed Ledger Technology, requiring businesses using DLT for the transmission or storage of value to be authorised by the GFSC. Authorised DLT providers and VASPs now hold more than £3.75 billion in client assets.
Gibraltar licensed or authorised financial institutions are able to provide services to customers in the United Kingdom through the Gibraltar Authorisation Regime (GAR), which treats them as authorised persons under the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Gibraltar was removed from the FATF grey list in 2024 and completed a 2025 National Risk Assessment as part of its preparation for MONEYVAL assessment in 2027.

Post-Brexit Relationship
Following Brexit, Gibraltar's relationship with both the UK and the EU has been subject to ongoing negotiations. A political agreement between the UK and EU was announced in June 2025 regarding Gibraltar's future relationship with the EU, including the Schengen area. This treaty is expected to bring further regulatory and operational changes. Professional advice on the current position is essential.
Regulatory Evolution
Gibraltar's regulatory framework continues to evolve rapidly, particularly in relation to digital assets, AML/CFT and alignment with UK standards under the Gibraltar Authorisation Regime. Firms must maintain current compliance and should seek professional advice on any changes affecting their specific activities.
Corporate Tax Rate
Gibraltar levies a 10% corporate tax rate — higher than many offshore jurisdictions but competitive for European operations. The jurisdiction does not levy capital gains tax, inheritance tax or wealth tax. Tax advice specific to the home jurisdiction of beneficial owners is essential.
