About Guernsey

Guernsey is part of the Channel Islands situated in between the UK and France. While separate from the UK and outside of the European Union, Guernsey is a British Crown dependency.   Guernsey’s financial services sector is the dominant industry and the largest contributor to island GDP.

Guernsey’s global financial services industry is made up of banking, investment funds, insurance and private wealth services.  

Taxation

Guernsey offers a highly competitive tax environment.  With no capital gains taxes, wealth taxes, VAT and a general tax of 0% for investment holding companies, Guernsey offers excellent opportunities for tax planning. There is also flat standard rate of income tax for Guernsey resident individuals of 20% with tax capping for higher earners in certain circumstances. 

The Guernsey corporate tax regime underwent extensive change in 2008. The standard rate of tax for most Guernsey companies is now 0%. There are exceptions for profits derived from Guernsey land and property ownership/development (20%), profits derived from banking and certain regulated financial services business activities (10%) and the profits from regulated utility companies (20%). 

Regulation

The Guernsey Financial Services Commission is responsible for the regulation of the finance sector.  Regulated entities include banks, company administrators, directors, insurers, insurance intermediaries, investment firms and intermediaries and trust administrators.  The Commission’s role is to ensure that financial services providers operate to established international standard and has the legal authority to enforce compliance with the laws relating the conduct of financial services businesses in Guernsey.

Relocation

With a population of just over 60,000 people, Guernsey offers a relaxed life style, mild climate and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s an attractive jurisdiction through which both people and corporates can structure or relocate their financial affairs.  

In order to work in Guernsey you will need the local authorities to issue a Right to Work document which is linked to your housing license status. If you are moving to Guernsey from outside of the European Union then a work permit will also need to be issued to allow you to enter the Island.
