ABOUT GIBRALTAR

AVAILABLE SERVICES AND COMPANIES IN GIBRALTAR
With a number of QROPS providers to choose from, clients and their advisers need to ensure they choose an established, quality service provider with the commitment and longevity to administer funds for the entire term of the pension. As a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, and with schemes in the key jurisdictions of Malta and Gibraltar, STM are world leaders in the field of pensions.
STM provide pension solutions to companies and individuals resident in Gibraltar and to internationally-mobile individuals through STM Fidecs Pension Trustees Limited.
Up to 30% pension commencement lump-sum can be taken from age 55, subject to being non-UK resident for a minimum of five full tax years. Income is taxed at a flat rate tax of 2.5% and declared as income in the client country of residence. Many countries do not tax foreign source pension income and, as such, a Gibraltar QROPS can provide a tax efficient pension transfer solution.
Our range of products available from Gibraltar include:
QROPS & QNUPS
Packaged QROPS products utilising our own in-house life assurance company (STM Life)
QNUPS – available to UK or non-UK residents
