Gibraltar has mature, dynamic and innovative fiduciary services industries with specialists able to assist in all aspects of complex tax planning, as well as providing fiduciary and administration services to the corporate and trust vehicles used.
Backed by robust legislative and regulatory infrastructures that others seek to emulate, Gibraltar is recognised as one of the leading jurisdictions for fiduciary business in the world. Recent enhancements to the Gibraltar trust and company laws have further expanded the range of flexible vehicles that can be used. However, with a rapidly changing industry and an increasing complexity of structures being established, it is essential that appropriate advice is taken when considering all aspects of the fiduciary industry.
All resident professional trust and company service providers are formally regulated by the independent regulatory authority, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and are subject to external audit and are required to adhere to formal Codes of Practice, which include strict corporate governance and regulatory capital requirements. Various submissions must be made annually to the regulators including audited accounts, a statement of compliance with the regulations; and copies of relevant documents. Regulatory scrutiny is therefore high, leading to an increasing number of service providers seeking independent expert advice.
