is this as much of a does as appears the case from the service level?

Is it like jersey where they have to pop down to the viscount’s department to get things stamped and charge a fortune for sod all work?

There are some very good lawyers in Jersey. Guernsey is mixed.

Its similar to comparing Cayman to the BVI. The brains are in Cayman.

Lol @ people dealing with low tax jurisdictions moaning that the legal system is a bit backward and parochial

cry me a fvcking river

yeah! everyone should absolutely do business in the highest tax jurisdiction possible! even though there’s no law obliging them to do so desoite elected governments being well aware they do so! yeah! that makes sense! huh!

I remember someone in the Jersey Tax Authority saying with a straight face that there are loads of reasons to do business there that have NOTHING to do with tax (nothing!)

No, it’s all about tax. But the U.K. tax authorities know this and yet, despite having legislative power to compel at their disposal, they do nothing to ban it. There is no moral obligation to pay more tax than the law requires of you.

*sounds Lord Halifax’s giant non-sequitur alarm*

Lord Halifax! He was a fvcking tit wasn’t he. Created a new username to fake his own death IIRC. LOL.

In any event, sardonically pillorying the idea of a moral obligation to pay more tax than necessary is, in the context of rebuttal of remarks about paying a “fair” amount of tax, the very opposite of a non sequitur HTHHTHHTH

How high would your tax have to be for you to consider it immoral woke-man? Don’t comment on me, I know you think I should be a slave for the state

Many clients use Jersey and Guernsey companies for entirely non-tax reasons. They have stable and well understood company law regimes, without all the capital maintenance rules.
