GFSB welcomes UK Double Taxation Agreement announcement
The GFSB notes and welcomes the recent announcement of the intention to draw up a Double Taxation Agreement (“DTA”) between Gibraltar and the UK. The GFSB believes that such an agreement would modernise tax arrangements with the UK and simplify matters for those of its members that do business with the UK.
Whilst the details of the final DTA are important, any agreement should encourage trade between Gibraltar and the UK and, as such, the GFSB makes itself available to assist HM Government of Gibraltar with the upcoming process.
Gibraltar retail is entering the real post-Treaty trading environment. GFSB Chairperson Owen Smith argues that faster support, better infrastructure and a stronger collective business voice are now needed.
Gibraltar is pitching airlines a much bigger regional market after the Treaty, but new routes require confidence years ahead. As Spanish election politics gets louder, can Gibraltar sell both the opportunity and the certainty behind it?
Changes to Gibraltar’s procurement rules have triggered a debate about how public concessions are awarded. What has changed, and what does it mean for businesses competing for Government work?
Personalised pricing allows businesses to tailor offers using customer data. As regulators examine the practice, Gibraltar firms should understand how it works and the implications for trust, transparency and reputation.
Gibraltar’s first detailed Treaty relief scheme is now in place, but businesses are still waiting for the full picture on wider modernisation support.
