Jersey in brief
Offshore that institutions call onshore.
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands - a self-governing Crown Dependency fourteen miles off France, outside the UK and the EU, with eight centuries of legal autonomy and the deepest banking sector of any offshore centre in Europe. Its trust industry manages family wealth measured in hundreds of billions, and its companies sit comfortably on the London Stock Exchange: when a group wants a zero-tax parent the City will not blink at, it incorporates in St Helier.
The tax framework mirrors its sister island: a standard 0% on company income, 10% for regulated financial-services firms, 20% for utilities, large retail and local property. There is no capital-gains tax, no withholding on dividends to non-residents and no inheritance tax; the only local consumption tax is a 5% GST that rarely touches international structures. In exchange Jersey expects substance where the law asks for it, prepared accounts and licensed local administration - the discipline that keeps its zero credible in every boardroom.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Jersey for decision-makers.
Can I open a company without visiting Jersey?+
Yes. The file runs remotely through our lawyers and a licensed local provider, from KYC to the Registry; originals follow by courier.
How much does it cost to set up a Jersey company?+
Turnkey incorporation starts from £3,900 including registry fees and the first year of the registered office. With a bank or EMI account arranged, packages start from £5,900.
How long does incorporation take?+
The Registry incorporates clean files within two days, and a same-day express service exists for deal timetables. Apostilled documents follow within a week.
Will the company pay tax in Jersey?+
The standard corporate rate is 0% - 10% applies to regulated financial-services companies, 20% to utilities, large retail and Jersey property. No capital-gains tax, no withholding on dividends. The owners' home tax stays in the picture, and we put it on the table in the consultation.
Why do listed groups incorporate in Jersey?+
Because everything fits: Jersey shares settle in CREST, the UK takeover code applies cleanly, London counsel knows the 1991 Law by heart - and the parent still enjoys a 0% rate. That is why FTSE-listed companies choose St Helier.
What is the Jersey Private Fund?+
A fast-track fund vehicle for up to fifty professional investors, approved by the JFSC in as little as 48 hours - the tool of choice for club deals and family-office strategies. We scope JPFs with local counsel.
What are the substance requirements?+
Companies in relevant sectors - holding, finance, IP and others - must show direction, people and premises proportionate to their activity. Pure equity holdings face a reduced test. We size the substance package to your case.
Does the company file accounts?+
Accounts must be prepared and kept, but private companies do not file them publicly - the Registry receives an annual confirmation instead. Audit applies to larger or regulated companies.
How is banking for a Jersey company?+
The strongest of any offshore centre in Europe: the island hosts branches of the major UK and international banks, and substance-backed companies open accounts where the wealth already sits. UK EMIs cover day-to-day operating needs.
Jersey or Guernsey - which one?+
Twins with different accents: Jersey leads in banking, private wealth and listing vehicles; Guernsey in insurance cells and private equity. Costs are similar; your industry usually decides.
