Tax compliance in Jersey

Company tax in Jersey looks simple on paper and still needs a filing every year. The Government of Jersey states that the standard rate of company tax is 0%, with higher rates for certain financial services, utility, retail and Jersey trading income. Which rate applies to your company depends on what it does, and that is the first thing a tax adviser should settle with you.

A foreign owner should also ask how the Jersey position fits with tax in the owner’s home country. A firm can prepare the Jersey return, but the owner’s residence may bring separate duties elsewhere. Look in each profile for advice on cross-border questions, the entity types the firm handles and any registration it declares.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Jersey company file a tax return every year?

Yes. The Government of Jersey states that every company incorporated in Jersey must submit an annual company tax return, even where the rate is 0%. A firm can prepare it with the accounts.

Who decides which company tax rate applies?

The rate follows the type of income the company earns, not its owner. A tax adviser should read your business plan and tell you which category applies before you incorporate.

Will a Jersey firm advise on tax in my home country?

Some do and some do not. Look at the profile for cross-border work, and ask whether the firm cooperates with advisers in your country of residence.
