VAT in Guernsey

Guernsey’s indirect tax position is under review: the States of Guernsey’s 2026 Tax Reform Package proposes a goods and services tax at 3% from 2028, subject to the States agreeing it. Check the current position with the Revenue Service or a local firm before you plan invoicing, and expect this page to change once a decision is taken.

A firm listed here for VAT work therefore does something different from its counterparts in other countries. It deals with VAT in the places where your company trades: registering in the United Kingdom or in an EU member state when you sell there, preparing the returns, and advising on invoices for cross-border supplies. Ask which jurisdictions a firm files in, whether it uses its own staff or a partner, and how it keeps track of the rules where you sell.

Four firms offer VAT services on Accountanty: 3 corporate services providers and 1 accounting firm. Two are medium sized and two are large networks. Two say they serve foreign clients.
