Considerations

If you are running a regulated financial services company

Jersey applies a 10% rate to regulated financial services companies and 20% to Jersey property and utilities. For pure 0% on financial services, look at:

10% financial services20% on utilities/property
→ Cayman Islands 0% on fund/financial structures→ British Virgin Islands 0% but reputational trade offs→ Isle of Man 0% standard, 10% banking only

If you are a French or German tax resident

Jersey is rated high CFC risk for France and Germany. Full CFC attribution likely applies and substance requirements add cost. For EU residents:

High CFC risk FR/DESubstance costs
→ Luxembourg EU holdco, no CFC trap→ Ireland EU 12.5%, ICAV (Irish collective vehicle) for funds→ Cyprus EU 12.5%, IP box, treaty access
