Guernsey

Country overview

Intertrust Guernsey provides a wide range of services for private clients  and corporate clients alike, with an emphasis on personal trust and stable, long-term business relationships. Our skilled staff are enthusiastic and highly qualified and pride themselves on providing the service our clients require.


Low tax jurisdiction
Guernsey is a long established low tax area, situated in the English Channel. A dependency of the British Crown but with its own legislature, it does not form part of the United Kingdom nor is it a member of the European Community.    With its relaxed life style, mild climate and entrepreneurial spirit, Guernsey is an attractive jurisdiction through which both people and corporates can structure or relocate their financial affairs.  The Island has no capital gains, inheritance, wealth or sales taxes and neither does it have VAT.  There is a flat standard rate of income tax for Guernsey resident individuals of 20% with tax capping for higher earners in certain circumstances.

 


Trust & Corporate services 
You may already be aware of the many benefits of using an international finance centre to establish trusts, corporate vehicles and funds. But what sets Intertrust in Guernsey apart from other companies and other jurisdictions?

Working through our administration company, Intertrust International Management Limited, we are well-placed to steer you through the complexities of trust and corporate management services to private and corporate clients. As well as having a reputation for expertise, we have the experience - being one of the first to be awarded a fiduciary licence by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.

Our fidicuary services encompass not only Guernsey Trusts and Corporate vehicles, but also the incorporation and management of entities in most  financial centres around the world.  As part of the respected Intertrust Group, we have the knowledge, skills and expertise to provide a seamless Trust and Corporate service from almost anywhere in the world.

We pride ourselves on our capabilities, based on a combination of a focused, personal service, a long history of professional practice and the strength of a major international AA-rated financial heavyweight.
