Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in Guernsey
The Channel Islands are an archipelago in the English Channel off the Normandy coast of France. They are divided into two British Crown Dependencies, the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey. The former also includes the islands of Alderney, Sark and Herm, and smaller islands are divided between the two bailiwicks.
Culturally rich in history, with a landscape steeped in natural beauty, Guernsey offers a peaceful yet cosmopolitan lifestyle. Sailing is a particular feature of life on the Island.
Located 75 miles from the English coast and just 30 miles from the coast of France, the island is bathed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and accessible by air and sea from the British and French mainland.
Guernsey is not part of the United Kingdom or European Union, but rather an internally self-governing dependent territory of the Crown. The inhabitants are British citizens. Local authorities make their own laws and oversee all internal administration, fiscal and social policies. In turn this means that all tax is controlled and is positioned at a favourable banding for corporate and personal investors.
The economy of the islands is dominated by financial services, tourism, electronic commerce and agriculture. The relatively light tax burden has encouraged a booming offshore finance sector.
