Close to Europe and with excellent links to London, Jersey has been a leading international finance centre for over 60 years, with a world-class reputation as a reliable and stable jurisdiction for banking, investment funds, capital markets and wealth management.
The island is a Crown Dependency with its own parliament and legislature. Jersey’s flexible Company Law framework empowers it to innovate and create new products that meet evolving market demands.
It also offers greater flexibility than UK Company Law regarding the returns on investments to investors and shareholders, through dividends (distribution), share buyback or redemption of share capital.
Jersey companies can list in London on AIM (Alternative Investment Market) or the Main Market and debt listings can list on The International Stock Exchange (TISE) which is headquartered in nearby Guernsey.
Some benefits of using Jersey include:
- No stamp duty on the issue or transfer of shares and a zero rate of corporation tax
- Skilled and experienced corporate service providers and legal practitioners support this vital pillar of Jersey’s financial services industry
- Jersey continues to demonstrate a commitment to innovation and working towards ever higher standards of supervision and appropriate regulation, ensuring it remains a competitive jurisdiction
- 2021 saw the launch of “Jersey for Good” – a sustainable future strategy for the island and the finance industry
