Paying tax in Guernsey

Guernsey's favourable tax treatment – including a flat 20% income tax rate and no capital gains, value added, withholding or inheritance taxes – are compelling incentives for high value residents considering relocation.  

Ogier's Relocations team provides the legal advice needed to navigate Guernsey's regulatory landscape effectively. While it's essential to consult with a tax professional for specific financial advice, our expert Relocations team will ensure you not only comply with local laws but also make informed decisions that align with your high value residency status. 

There are also a number of favourable tax allowances and the facility for those with high incomes to cap your liability. Guernsey uses the pound sterling which makes banking easier when moving from the UK.  

Ogier is ready to assist with the legal and regulatory elements of your move to Guernsey, including property acquisition, estate planning, and the establishment of related businesses. 

In addition, as your trusted legal adviser, Ogier is well placed to introduce you to our market leading Private Wealth team, local accountants, bankers, trust and investment specialists, who can help you to structure your wealth.
