GIBRALTAR

Gibraltar is a small country located on the Iberian Peninsula. For the first time in Gibraltar began to issue licenses for gambling back in the 90s of the last century.

At the moment, Gibraltar – has independent legislation, is a member of the EU and is a jurisdiction where the licensing of online gambling establishments is considered one of the most developed and prestigious in the world. Back in 2005, the Gambling Act was issued – which controls and directs the work of companies and regulates the entire gambling business in this jurisdiction. In addition, after the adoption of this act, the country began to issue licenses for online gambling.

And after the adoption of this bill, Gibraltar quickly became one of the leaders in the European gaming industry.

Price policy. Tax rate

There is no fixed price for licensing; it ranges from 30-70 thousand dollars. It all depends on the size of the institution and the business plan. After approval, the institution receives a license for 5 years. Of course, then it can be easily extended. This pleasure costs only 2800 dollars.

Also pleased with the low tax rate, only 1% of the institution’s annual income, but cannot exceed 425 thousand pounds.

Gibraltar Value Added Tax (VAT) – NO

Of course, you can get a license for both online casinos and virtual halls with slot machines, sweepstakes, poker rooms, bookmaker services and so on. Corporate tax rate is set upon request, as soon as the institution is launched. This request is sent to the Office of Finance and the Development Secretariat.
