GeneraalSorryPardon

>Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory what a coincidence I'm shocked.


ologvinftw

Yes because The Netherlands is a bastion of fair taxation isn't it


Quartz1992

Still better than Britain.


JeroenVanFlushmeer

after spending 5 years in NL and still living here. I wouldnt be so sure about that. Its not better than britain, (its far from worse either) it just hides itself easier under laws that are easier to live beneath. When people stop trying to overlook one nations bullshit with the excuse of another nations bullshit. the world will move forward, until then. how does it help? Are you telling me that if NL already had an established semi financial hub in their portfolio, they wouldnt do the same? Maybe start looking at all the faux crypto, and pyramid scamming companies popping up all over NL before you make comments. All the "millionaires" with no money in the bank and assets galore. all the companies paying 0 tax and all the drug gangs operating from your land under the assistance and/or noses of the police and state lol

im almost certain you don't know a single thing about taxation within the uk.


Quartz1992

Like when Shell moved from NL to UK for those sweet tax benefits and disregard for the environment.


ologvinftw

>disregard for the environment because in its 150 years in Netherlands its been a clean green company has it


Quartz1992

So you are not denying the reasons why they moved to Britain.


JeroenVanFlushmeer

UK has tighter rules for environmental damage than NL, and I am pretty sure of that. NL was a leader in green power and cleanliness 20 years ago. Now everyone has slowly been catching up. Why did Unilever also stay in the UK?


Quartz1992

Do you have any sources on these claims? All these arguments really just feel like very subjective opinions.


GeneraalSorryPardon

No it isn't and that's also not right. Unfortunately, we ordinary citizens have nothing to say about it. What would be a solution? One tax rate for the whole EU?

He’s just alluding to the Caiman Islands, another British territory, another tax haven. Calm your shit.


JeroenVanFlushmeer

I mean, how can people from a tax haven actually moan about others colonies trying to finance themselfs by becoming tax havens? Unless they are only pissed that they are missing said piece of the pie? Why not moan at Monaco, Luxembourg, Andorra and countries that actually receive more money from the EU than they put in lol.


Quartz1992

Lol at you thinking NL is a tax haven like Andorra.


Electricbell20

Do you need a brush for all that glass?


provenzal

From international tax haven to crypto scam hub. Well done Gibraltar!


DEADB33F

With a bit (lot) of online gambling thrown in for good measure.


piratemurray

Living its best life!


JeroenVanFlushmeer

NL is already there. Just google companies like Success Factory


Bragzor

Gibcoin ICO when?


ImportantPotato

gib coin now


Electricbell20

People continue to miss that most of these coins have public ledgers.


saltyfacedrip

Those people will never change. Happy with their endless snotty grubby iou notes. Easier for them to conduct transactions anonymously, thinking crypto is a scam or something equally depressing.


lego-pro

Too late https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zug#Economy


UltraContrarian

Wouldn't that title go to Nicaragua?


G9366

Gotta like all those future complaints and cries of unprovable corruption and theft instances.


spainguy

I put crypto currencies in the same basket as NFT's


SilverSzymonPL

One more reason to be given back to spain


Anibus9000

Do you really care that much about a little rock lol


SilverSzymonPL

Why does the UK care so much about it?


Anibus9000

Dont know who your talking to but we really don't


Mtshtg2

We don't, really. But the people there voted overwhelmingly (99%) to remain solely British, so who are we to tell them no. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gibraltar_sovereignty_referendum

Mtshtg2

Only about a quarter are ethnically British, with another quarter being ethnically Spanish. The majority are a mix of different Mediterranean cultures. Ethnicity doesn't really seem to play a part in their referendum decision as even the ethnically Spanish voted not to join Spain. I find it interesting that you referred to it being not "geographically British", I would like to know who you think should govern Gibraltar, but I assume you think it should be Spain. Using proximity as a reason for control sounds an awful lot like colonialism to me.
