Company Type
The most popular types of business are:
• Jersey International Business Companies (IBC)
• Jersey-resident companies

Taxation and statutory requirements at a glance

A Jersey IBC is deemed to be resident for tax purposes and has to pay corporate tax at a rate of 30%. The tax is radically reduced if:
• overall business activity is organised outside Jersey
• the company beneficiary is not a resident of Jersey
If business is being conducted outside Jersey, an IBC company pays tax at a floating rate of between 0.5% and 2% (and not less than £1200).
A Jersey IBC enjoys the benefits of double tax agreements. Jersey is a member of 15 DTAs.
Jersey-resident companies pay corporate tax at a rate of 20% on world income.

Accounting, audit and filing requirements
