Gibraltar IBC

Gibraltar IBC, International Business Company is also known as a Gibraltar Non-Resident Company, is the most common international investment and the tax-planning vehicle in Gibraltar. The company has many potential applications including international trading to e-commerce, with benefits such as ease of tax burden and secure asset protection provisions with flexible corporate structures.These international instruments are typically the same as local Gibraltar companies and as such, the government in Gibraltar never generally describes their country as being a conventional offshore environment. Due to their relations with the EU, they distance themselves from the negative associations commonly had by traditional offshore financial centres.
