“Gibraltar is launching a campaign to persuade hedge funds to ditch their plush Mayfair offices for the low taxes of ‘the Rock’. Last week hedge fund managers were invited to the peninsula where they were told income tax could be limited to £30,000 a year no matter how many millions they earned. Gibraltar also boasts no VAT and social security payments of just £120 per family a month. In the UK the top rate of income tax is 45%, VAT is 20% and national insurance is levied at 14% of weekly earnings above £797. Corporation tax on activities undertaken on the rock is levied at 10%, compared with 24% in the UK.”
