Guernsey Exempt Corporation

Guernsey Exempt Corporation Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands, famous for its tax-haven status. In recent years, Guernsey’s financial centre has become increasingly important, with most international banks having either a branch or subsidiary in Guernsey. The island is also home to branches or subsidiaries of many major international insurance companies. In terms of security and stability, Guernsey is as good as it gets. Guernsey has agreed to implement the OECD Exchange of information treaty and has signed an agreement with the UK. This allows HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to ask for the bank account details of any company that could be liable for income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax or VAT in the UK.   Key Features
