GIBRALTAR PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES
-
Gibraltar Limited Companies are incorporated under the Gibraltar Companies Ordinance 1930 which is based on the English Companies Act 1929. The basic rules are as follows: a private company limited by shares is required to have at least two members, who can be individuals or companies; one shareholder can be a nominee company holding a share on trust for the other shareholder; the maximum number of members is 50; the Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation state that the company is private, restrict the transfer of shares, and prohibit public offerings of the shares.
-
Annual returns must be made to the Registrar, and details of the shareholders and capital structure are held on the public files. Only one director is required; secretaries are not mandatory, and they may be corporate. There must be a registered office in Gibraltar where the statutory books are kept. There is no requirement for accounts to be filed; tax-resident companies however have to submit accounts to the tax authorities.
-
A Gibraltar company can be incorporated within 7 working days and ready made companies are available for immediate use. There is a 0.5% duty on authorised share capital (minimum duty £G10). There is an annual tax of £G225 payable by a limited company.
