Finding a location that offers the very best tax
advantages might be your first thought, but choosing a
jurisdiction that is to become your home is about
settling somewhere that works for your wealth and
ultimately your family too.
Guernsey is an independent, low tax jurisdiction which
ranks as one of the top offshore finance centres in the
world. It is a beautiful and secure island where
traditional values sit at the very heart of everyday
life. It’s a place where everyone enjoys respect
and privacy, and has many business and leisure
opportunities. The island also benefits from excellent
schools and a first class health service.
Tax and your wealth
Income Tax in Guernsey is generally less than the UK
with a flat rate of only 20%. The Island has no Capital
Gains, Inheritance, Value Added of Withholding Taxes.
There are also a number of favourable tax allowances and
the facility for those with high incomes, to
"cap" their liability. Guernsey uses the pound
sterling which makes banking easier when moving from the
UK.
