Advantages of Jersey
Jersey, which remains a British Crown dependency, is self-governing in all domestic issues and is not part of, and therefore not subject to, regulations imposed by the United Kingdom or the European Union. It is internationally known and respected for:
- Security and confidentiality
- Political and economic stability
- Excellent worldwide communications
- No Local income tax liability for non-resident individuals, companies or trusts
- No local capital gains or inheritance taxes
- No exchange control restrictions
- Well established financial and legal infrastructures
Jersey consequently offers the benefits of being a well-established offshore financial centre without the many risks associated with newer and less stable territories. The Island is strictly regulated and only institutions of the highest reputation and integrity are permitted to establish new businesses and operate here. Modern laws and a comprehensive regulatory framework are in place which ensures that the Island maintains its reputation as a secure centre for investment. All investment related businesses are regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission.
