Living and working in Gibraltar
The culture in Gibraltar is a fusion of neighbouring European customs. With a strong Spanish and British influence, evidence of Italian, French and German living is subtle but embraced. English is the language of the government and those wishing to pursue higher education can study at a UK university.
With such strong British influence, professional working life has much parity to that in the UK although you will work in smaller teams thereby becoming more integral to the business. Due to the climate, working hours may vary depending on the heat of the day allowing individuals to enjoy a more balanced lifestyle.
With current income tax rates, individuals are much better off in real terms and the difference in net salary can be considerable. Relocation expenses, temporary accommodation and transport are also included as standard in most packages.
