The Gibraltar FinTech industry continues to attract both major players and nimble new start-ups from around the world due to:

  • A corporate tax rate of just 12.5%, no capital gains, wealth, inheritance or withholding taxes, added tax incentives for High Net Worth Individuals.
  • An English-speaking country with a Mediterranean lifestyle, infrastructure built to British standards, consistently strong growth and solid economic indicators.
