A safe place of natural beauty and amazing landscapes, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and has a population of some 90,000 people. It is located 80 miles south of England and 15 miles west of the French coast, and is well served by air and ferry services, being within a convenient hour's flight away from both London and Paris. The Island has been a self-governing dependency of the British Crown since 1204 and is not technically part of the United Kingdom, though of course the links are many and close. Developed as an international finance centre, Jersey is regulated by robust legislation to protect its reputation and image as a place to conduct business. Economy The economy is mainly divided into three separate areas: Finance, Tourism and Agriculture. The largest sector is Finance, which contributes nearly half of the Island's gross domestic product. The Island enjoys a balanced economy with a healthy balance of payments surplus and no external debt. This has facilitated maintenance of low rates of taxation (income tax is 20%, although lower rates apply to certain corporate and trusts). Additionally, there is no capital gains tax, estate duty, capital transfer tax or sales (VAT) tax. The Benefits · A southerly location and temperate climate offering more warmth and sunshine than the rest of the British Isles · A rural environment consisting of fields, woodland, cliffs, headland, small country lanes and miles of golden beach · Benign local income tax systems, with low personal tax rates (max 20%), generous allowances and no capital gains tax or wealth tax · High standards of state health provision with a reciprocal agreement with the UK · Low crime rates · High standards of state-provided education on a UK model · Housing licences are generally available for qualified staff, ensuring access to the restricted housing market for periods of up to 5-7 years |
