The idea of this page is to give an overview of the gibraltar economy, including statistical information, and Tax data.
Perhaps someone experienced in Wiki layout could assist in defining the style so its consistent.
I have commissioned an article describing the economy and the tax regime by a leading accounting professional as the latter is particularly missunderstood. These will be added as soon as they are available. In the meantime the inclusion of propaganda is not productive.-- 212.120.227.126 15:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Can someone translate and confirm this unreferenced paragraph found at http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar:
It tranlates roughly as 'Spanish rubbish'
Gibraltar is not a tax haven. The present system of tax exempt companies is being phased out and replaced with a new system which is being agreed with the EU. The purpose of Wikipedia is to describe the present not to predict the future, so any inclusion or discussion of this is best left until it happens.
Given that you are competent in both languages, quite why you need a translation is mystery.
The best thing is to remove it from the Spanish wikipedia.-- Gibnews 08:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
There should be a mention on this, given the constant growth of this sector. IMHO, the article looks more like a list than a comprehensive text. Maybe a "To Do" for the future, I would say. -- Asterion talk to me 20:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
The guy writing about 'the economy of Gibralrar' has failed to deliver, but will source a fully comprehensive article in due course. The online sector is indeed doing well, and producing the first Gibraltar billionaires - not me though.-- Gibnews 20:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
In the context of Gibraltar its hard to say there is a category called 'White people' Although there are certainly identifiable Indians, and Moroccans. There are much whiter asians in the UK than the average Gibraltarian and locally racial origin is not exactly a big deal. -- Gibnews 09:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I reverted all the data on ethnic earnings, as someone has spent a lot of time adding it and it was referenced to the GoG website, if not explicitly, its probably better to improve that rather than just zapping someones efforts as it took him a lot of goes to get the formatting right.
Probably better to change it to GBP rather than the £ sign. I'll pick up the latest Government statistics and use them to check everything and source the info.
-- Gibnews 11:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
The inclusion of flawed statistics on CO2 emissions is mischievous - the statistics are reported as being flawed as they do not take into account that Gibraltar is a busy bunkering port and only reflect oil imports and not exports.
This was included in the Spanish language wikipedia and quickly picked up and used as a suggestion that Gibraltar 'polluted the planet'. -- Gibnews ( talk) 01:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
The question of copyright has been opened at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2009 November 18. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:27, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
It's interesting to note that the information showing that Gibraltar was in the OECD list of jurisdictions not implementing the internationally agreed Tax Standard issued in April (which means that it didn't complied to it for seven years) has been removed. Just another sample of NPOV edition? -- Ecemaml ( talk) 23:46, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
“ | Gibraltar is now listed in the OECD "white list", and is considered a jurisdiction that has substantially implemented the internationally agreed tax standard. It therefore shares the same status as OECD member states such as the UK, the USA, Spain and Germany. | ” |
“ | Gibraltar is now listed in the OECD "white list", and is considered a jurisdiction that has substantially implemented the internationally agreed tax standard. It therefore shares the same status as OECD member states such as the UK, the USA, Spain and Germany. | ” |
Sorry Justin, but I'm afraid I don't understand anything about your statements. If you could reword them to make them understandable, it would be helpful. Anyway, what the source says is:
“ | A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE JURISDICTIONS SURVEYED BY THE OECD GLOBAL FORUM IN IMPLEMENTING THE INTERNATIONALLY AGREED TAX STANDARD Progress made as at 2nd April 2009 |
” |
Therefore I've included the curiously omitted fact related to Gibraltar's lack of implementation of the "internationally agreed tax standard" from 2002 to April 2009. Why it has been removed and in which ground is far from my understanding? I've reintroduced with a different phrasing to avoid the "copyright infringement". -- Ecemaml ( talk) 00:33, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
“ | However, in its April 2009 progress report, the OCDE listed Gibraltar in the "black-list" of jurisdictions which, although committed, had not "substantially implemented" yet the internationally agreed tax standard. Following Gibraltar's signing of 12 additional Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs), as of October 2009, with jurisdictions including the UK, USA and Germany, to sum 13, Gibraltar is currently listed in the OECD "white list", and is considered a jurisdiction that has substantially implemented the tax standard. It therefore shares the same status as OECD member states such as the UK, the USA, Spain or Germany. | ” |
“ | However, in April 2009, the OCDE listed Gibraltar among the jurisdictions that, although had committed to the internationally agreed tax standard, had not yet substantially implemented it. Following Gibraltar's signing of 13 Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs), as of October 2009, with jurisdictions including the UK, USA and Germany, Gibraltar is now listed in the OECD "white list", and is considered a jurisdiction that has substantially implemented the internationally agreed tax standard. It therefore shares the same status as OECD member states such as the UK, the USA, Spain and Germany. | ” |
Most readers don't know what bunkering is - I certainly don't. I've tried reding the corresponding wikipedia page which does not entirely explain it. I get the idea that it is to do with fuel oil for ships, but that doesn't really sit nicely with "delivering bunkers". In addition, the reference given is void.
I will delete the paragraph on bunkering unless it is rewritten in a way which can be understood. Francis Hannaway ( talk) 08:18, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
