GIBRALTAR BRANCH OF OVERSEAS COMPANY
If a foreign company intends to establish a branch or a permanent place of business in Gibraltar, it must within one month deposit with the Registrar of Companies a certified copy of its Memorandum and Articles of Association, a list and particulars of its directors and company secretary, and details of one or more resident individuals authorised to receive notices and communications. Once registered, the foreign company will be treated in the same way as a Gibraltar company, and can take exempt or qualifying status if appropriate. The annual fee for a branch registration is £300.
Registered branch of an overseas company may apply for a Tax Exemption Certificate. Possession of such certificate will, in return for the payment of a fixed annual tax (between £200 and £300), exempt the branch from further taxation (includes corporation tax and withholding tax) in Gibraltar. A Tax Exemption Certificate is issued for a period of 25 years.
