The GFSB have received a number of calls from worried members stating that their staff are being asked to produce NIE’s and S1’s from Gibraltar.
The S1 can ordinarily be obtained by contacting the Contributions Section of the Income Tax office via email on sicontributions@gibraltar.gov.gi
And providing them with:
a) Copy of the last payslip; and
b) ID or Passport
We do not know how long this process will take.
We have raised this concern with the relevant Government departments who are aware of this situation and are doing everything they can to ensure fluidity of movement at the border.
We advise our members to keep up to date with Government press releases. We will, in turn, provide you with further information as soon as we are able.
Please do continue to report concerns and issues to us to enable us to continue to report them to the Government on your behalf.
The GFSB has conducted a flash survey of its members concerning their experiences during the first two weeks of the new Treaty arrangements.
The Office of Fair Trading's latest Annual Report reveals record numbers of businesses, plans to simplify licensing through a new Business Act and fewer consumer complaints. GFSB's Business Support Manager, Kim Chang, breaks down what the proposed reforms, increased digital services and stronger enforcement could mean for businesses, and why the GFSB's role in shaping policy has been recognised.
What a year it's been! From the Treaty moving from negotiation to reality to AI, workplace pensions, business confidence and everything in between, this year's Thrive EDIT has helped members navigate one of the busiest periods in Gibraltar's recent history. Before we take a short summer break, Editor David Revagliatte looks back at the stories that shaped the year and thanks readers for joining us on the journey.
Could Gibraltar be missing a golden opportunity? GFSB Board Director Brian Ross believes the answer is yes. In this thought-provoking opinion piece, he argues that Gibraltar should consider a residency route for financially self-sufficient individuals, attracting experienced people with the wealth, expertise and international networks to strengthen our economy. Could this be the next step in keeping Gibraltar competitive?
For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
