The Government of Gibraltar says it is delighted to welcome Robert Jenrick, Exchequer Secretary to Her Majesty’s Treasury, to Gibraltar to announce that HMGoG and Her Majesty’s Government have opened negotiations to enter into a Double Tax Agreement. It is anticipated that with hard work on both sides a final agreement can be signed in a matter of months.
The announcement is the latest in a series of developments that bears the fruit of HMGoG’s vision and hard work in securing a tax treaty with the Kingdom of Spain and Gibraltar’s recent announcement that the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, has welcomed and agreed to Gibraltar becoming a full member of the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion Profit Shifting (BEPS).
Steps such as these maintain Gibraltar’s commitment to international standards of tax transparency and cooperation. Once concluded, the agreement will bolster Gibraltar's unimpeachable reputation as a robust and reputable financial centre. Importantly, the deal will also position Gibraltar’s offering on an equal footing with competing jurisdictions that currently enjoy the benefit of a double tax agreement with the UK. Read more
