A tax haven for many investors, the state that is the protagonist of our mini guide today is Jersey!

What are the documents to access in Jersey?
After the Brexit effect, we strongly recommend that you have a passport. We also remember that the currency in force and the language spoken only the same as in the United Kingdom. An element of fundamental importance, whenever we deal with a 'territorial analysis, is given by the cost of living. What are the prices that, broadly speaking, characterize this country? Is the economy solid or cumbersome?
To answer these questions, we have decided to go into even more detail, to make you better understand what the real situation is in Jersey. According to the current legislation, a distinction is made at the fiscal level between residents and non-residents. The former are taxed on all their incomes, while for the second category only on those derived from internal sources. As far as company forms are concerned, there is a zero tax rate for companies resident on the island but it is possible to apply a 10% discount on companies that manage income deriving from the exploitation of local property or utilities.
As far as real estate is concerned, we are talking about a minimum rate of 0.5% to a maximum of 5%.
These elements should not be underestimated, as they are the basis of international relations based on criteria of transparency and free exchange of information.
After having made a brief economic background, we get to the heart of the costs related to the basket of goods. In order to better facilitate the consultation of these values, we report a list.
