Madrid has officially removed Gibraltar from the list of non-cooperative tax zones, which had been considered a 'tax haven' for 35 years. Furthermore, Russia has been included in this list for the first time. This decision has attracted the attention of European and international financial circles.
Gibraltar, located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and under the control of the United Kingdom, has long been criticized for its tax benefits. According to the Spanish Ministry of Finance, Gibraltar has adapted to international tax transparency rules and fulfilled information exchange obligations in recent years, meeting international standards.
Another important point relates to Russia. Previously, Moscow was included in the list of jurisdictions that do not cooperate in tax matters, compiled by the European Union. Spain is now joining this practice, emphasizing that Russia's tax practices do not meet some international criteria.
According to specialists, the inclusion of the Russian Federation in this register will not lead to a serious economic shock, as the volume of economic ties between the two countries has already significantly decreased after the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, there may be increased control over financial operations related to Russian capital.
