A better life for you

Foreword 

by Jo Stoddart 

Director, Locate Guernsey 

Thank you for registering for Locate Guernsey’s 

Spring Forum 2021. We hope that you will enjoy 

the opportunity to find out more about the island 

of Guernsey and the many benefits of making a 

home and running a business here. 

Guernsey enjoys an 

excellent reputation which 

has been built on political 

and economic stability. 

It is seen as a jurisdiction 

which is safe, secure 

and trusted and this has 

certainly proved to be the 

case during the island’s 

management of the 

Covid-19 crisis. Guernsey 

is a beautiful and dynamic 

place where your family 

and your business can 

thrive and prosper in 

a very uncertain world. 

We are very grateful to 

Lord Digby Jones and 

other recent arrivals who 

have been willing to share 

their thoughts about living 

in Guernsey – we have no 

doubt that you will enjoy 

their contributions to this 

webinar. We also extend 

our thanks to Ross Le 

Marquand, Open Market 

Sales Director at Cooper 

Brouard estate agents 

and to Caley Clarke, 

Tax Director at BDO 

Guernsey for sharing their 

expertise and knowledge 

with our audience. 

This brochure contains 

some important 

information about island 

life and I encourage you 

to read it and refer back 

to it. If you require more 

detailed information 

about any subject, please 

do contact the Locate 

Guernsey team for this 

and answers to any 

specific questions you 

may have – we want to 

help you understand 

how easy it is to make a 

home on the island and to 

establish a business here. 

I relocated to Guernsey 

over 15 years ago having 

previously lived in Paris, 

London and Jersey. 

I feel very lucky that my 

children have enjoyed a

childhood in Guernsey 

that many people can 

only dream of – excellent 

education, great 

healthcare, clean air and 

a carefree existence in a 

safe and beautiful place. 

It’s been very interesting 

to see throughout the 

Covid crisis, how many 

Guernsey people have 

moved back “home” 

and how many others 

have seen the benefits 

which life in Guernsey 

offers, and have seized 

the opportunity to 

make Guernsey their 

home. Guernsey truly 

does offer a better life 

for you and we look 

forward to welcoming 

you to our shores.

Foreword 

by Lord Digby Jones 

Lord Digby Jones spent 20 years at corporate law 

firm Edge & Ellison in Birmingham, the last three 

as Senior Partner. He subsequently spent six years 

as Director-General of the CBI and a further couple 

of years as Minister for UK Trade & Investment.

The Guernsey Press 

Lord Digby Jones and 

his wife, Lady Pat Jones, 

became permanent 

residents of Guernsey 

in the spring of 2020 

having previously bought 

a holiday home on the 

island. They dropped 

the UK element of 

their dual residency. 

Digby will explain what 

led to their decision, how 

the Guernsey Authorities’ 

response to the Covid 

pandemic, linked to a 

wonderful “Guernsey 

Together” spirit, played 

its part and how the 

quality of life continues 

to take their breath away 

on a regular basis. 

Words such as “decent”, 

“safe”, “courteous” 

and “friendly, warm 

and welcoming” may 

seem old-fashioned 

descriptions to explain 

their experience so far 

but that’s the truth of the 

matter. The fiscal regime 

is of course attractively 

internationally competitive 

but the “Guernsey Extra” 

is the special ingredient... 

and you won’t find 

that anywhere else! 

A scholarship boy at 

Bromsgrove School 

and law graduate from 

University College, 

London, Digby spent 

some time in the Royal 

Navy before starting 

his corporate career. 

Following his time in 

politics and the Public 

Sector, he returned 

to the Private Sector 

as Chairman of the 

International Advisory 

Boards of British Airways 

and HSBC and Senior 

Advisor to BP and 

AON. A past winner of 

Celebrity Mastermind, 

he has written two books 

(“Fixing Britain” and 

“Fixing Business”) and 

presented the BBC’s New 

Troubleshooter TV series, 

the “Business Covenant” 

series for BBC Radio 4 

and the series “Preparing 

for Brexit” for Times 

Radio. He is Chairman 

of Triumph Motorcycles, 

Thatchers Cider and 

Argentex Group. 

He retired from the 

House of Lords in 2020.

Meet the team 

Locate Guernsey is a government-funded agency which is part of the Economic 

Development team of the States of Guernsey. Our purpose is to promote the 

island as a destination for relocation to wealthy individuals who would become 

Open Market residents and businesses with low footprint/high value and 

scalable attributes. We are a free resource, able to provide tailored guidance, 

information and introductions at any stage of the process, from initial enquiries 

and reconnaissance visits, throughout the relocation process and beyond, 

helping new residents and businesses to hit the ground running and establish 

their networks when they arrive. 

Jo Stoddart 

Director 

Jo has acquired extensive personal and professional 

experience of relocation having lived in Yorkshire, 

Paris, London, Jersey, and for the past 15 years, 

Guernsey. Following many years in Paris as a 

professional events’ organiser, Jo became involved 

in the property industry whilst living in Jersey 

and subsequently founded a successful pan-island 

relocation consultancy with offices in Guernsey 

and Jersey. Former Chair of the UK’s Association 

of Relocation Professionals, Jo joined Locate 

Guernsey in November 2018. Having discovered 

the benefits of Guernsey for her own family, Jo is 

a passionate ambassador for the island and enjoys 

helping potential new residents to discover how 

Guernsey could work for them, their families and 

their business interests.

Richard Bellis 

Relationship 

Manager 

Richard returned to Guernsey in 2019 and joined 

the Locate Guernsey team in January 2021. He has 

enjoyed a successful career in the financial services 

sector spanning over 30 years. He has held various 

senior roles with leading international financial 

services companies and most recently was Head 

of Asset Management for an international bank in 

the Cayman Islands. He has a wealth of first-hand 

experience of relocating having also held positions 

in London and Bermuda, in addition to posts in 

Guernsey. Whilst not “local”, Richard was educated 

at Elizabeth College here in Guernsey where he was 

a boarder for 13 years and he is fiercely proud of his 

adopted island home. 

Lily Prus 

Relationship 

Manager 

Lily is our most recent addition to the Locate 

Guernsey team, joining from the States of 

Guernsey’s Economic Development department 

where she was involved in numerous projects to 

support business and economic growth. She has 

worked within government since leaving school and 

as a result has extensive knowledge of government 

processes and procedures. Lily has lived in Guernsey 

her entire life because, in her words, why would 

she ever want to leave! She is very much looking 

forward to meeting and speaking with prospective 

relocators to provide support on all aspects of the 

relocation process and show off some of the many 

reasons she loves her island home.

Guernsey and Covid 

Although Guernsey has had to live through two lockdowns, first in March 2020 

and then again in January 2021, thanks to the strong leadership of our Public 

Health Team and our politicians, the island was the first place in the British 

Isles to be declared Covid-free at the end of May 2020. Following the second 

lockdown, the island was again deemed to be Covid free in March 2021. 

During the months 

between the first and 

second lockdowns, 

the island enjoyed 

a gradual return to 

normality with schools, 

restaurants, bars, gyms 

etc. completely open for 

business. Residents were 

not required to wear 

masks or to be socially 

distanced and parties, 

weddings and funerals 

took place normally, as 

did Christmas and New 

Year’s celebrations. In late 

January 2021 four cases 

of Covid were identified 

in people who had no 

travel history or links to 

travellers and so the island 

was immediately put back 

into lockdown. It was 

later confirmed that these 

four cases had been of 

the Kent variant which 

was much more easily 

transmissible. However, 

due to the decisive action 

of the island’s government 

and the commitment 

of the local community, 

once again embracing 

its #guernseytogether 

mantra, we were able 

to return to normal life 

just eight weeks after 

the second lockdown 

was imposed. 

Throughout the 

pandemic, the goal of the 

Public Health team has 

been to protect islanders 

and keep the economy 

functioning. The island 

has established a rigorous 

test, track and trace 

system – travellers are 

required to self-isolate for 

14 days on arrival and this 

has helped to protect the 

general population from 

any cases brought here 

by in-coming travellers. 

Testing on arrival is 

mandatory and travellers 

are offered a second test 

on day 13. The period of 

self-isolation ends if the 

day 13 test is negative. 

However, anyone who 

does not wish to be 

tested on day 13 must 

remain in self-isolation 

for a total of 21 days. 

As Guernsey’s vaccination 

programme progresses, 

the hope is that selfisolation 

will no longer 

be required after 1st July. 

This will however depend 

on progress in the UK and 

neighbouring countries 

so please contact Locate 

Guernsey if you are 

planning to travel over so 

that we can provide you 

with the latest updates. 


The role of Locate Guernsey 

The team at Locate Guernsey understands that any relocation is a significant 

undertaking and will offer support at any stage of your journey. Whether it 

is an idea you wish to explore, or you have plans needing our input or you 

have recently arrived on the island, we are here to help. 

Locate Guernsey offers tailored 

guidance at an early stage, aiming 

to provide a relationship service as 

any enquiry takes shape; help is 

available before, during and after any 

reconnaissance visits. Guidance is 

frequently provided in respect of: 

Living in the Open Market 

Establishing a business in Guernsey 

Immigration matters 

Registering for online services 

such as social security 

Education, sport, clubs and 

social organisations 

Practicalities, including driving 

licences, vehicle importation, pets 

Healthcare and insurance 

Population Management 

formalities 

Introductions to key civil servants 

and politicians 

Introductions to social and 

business groups and societies 

We are acutely aware that wealthy 

individuals and businesses have a 

choice of jurisdictions to consider 

and therefore work hard to ensure 

that Guernsey provides the very best 

first impression, thereafter doing 

whatever is necessary to help smooth 

and inform any relocation process. 

This may include putting together an 

itinerary to ensure any early visit is as 

productive and enjoyable as possible. 

Once you are here, the team will also 

help with settling in and frequently host 

social events which enable individuals 

to establish themselves in Guernsey 

and to build their personal networks. 

Guernsey is enhanced by the arrival 

of newcomers and on the States of 

Guernsey’s behalf, Locate Guernsey 

seeks to underline this by providing a 

single point of contact with practical 

help and guidance where it is needed.

Tax 

As an independent, self-governing jurisdiction, 

Guernsey has developed its own attractive 

system of taxation for residents. The system 

is very straightforward and caps the amount 

of income tax payable by residents. 

Guernsey residents pay: 

0% Inheritance Tax 

0% Capital Gains Tax 

0% Wealth Tax 

0% VAT or Goods 

and Services Tax 

Personal income tax 

is charged at the flat 

rate of 20% with 

caps available 

The basis on which 

income tax is 

charged depends 

on the taxpayer’s 

residence status 

and whether they 

are “resident 

only” or “solely or 

principally resident” 

in Guernsey for 

tax purposes 

Tax residency 

categories are based 

on the number of 

days an individual 

spends on the island 

It is possible to cap 

exposure to income 

tax in Guernsey as an 

alternative to paying 

a flat rate of 20% 

The maximum tax liability for any individual who does not have Guernsey source 

income will be £130,000 per annum. 

For those who have both Guernsey and non-Guernsey source income (Guernsey 

bank interest does not count as Guernsey source income) the maximum tax liability 

is £260,000 per annum. 

Individuals who are “resident only” may elect to pay a “standard charge” which 

is currently set at £40,000 per annum. 


With effect from 

1 January 2018, a tax cap 

of £50,000 per annum 

has been introduced for 

individuals in their first 

four years of residence 

subject to the conditions 

listed below. 

An individual must: 

Be principally 

resident in Guernsey 

Pay £50,000 or more 

in document duty 

for the purchase 

of an Open Market 

Part A property – 

at the current rates 

this equates to a 

property purchase 

of £1.32M or more 

Make the purchase 

either 12 months 

before or after 

the date of taking 

up residence 

in Guernsey 

Foreign and worldwide 

tax caps are not limited 

in duration and are 

applicable no matter 

how many years the 

individual has been 

solely or principally 

resident in Guernsey. 

Double tax treaty 

and pensions 

Under the terms of 

the Double Tax Treaty 

with the UK, pensions 

are only taxable in the 

taxpayer’s country of 

residence. Therefore, 

for individuals moving 

to Guernsey from the 

UK, their UK income tax 

liability will be replaced 

by a Guernsey income 

tax liability and the rate 

of tax will be 20%. 

IMPORTANT NOTE 

Please note that this 

information is a summary 

only and has been 

prepared for information 

purposes. Locate Guernsey 

does not provide tax, legal 

or accounting advice. 

You should consult your 

own advisors in relation 

to your personal situation. 

Locate Guernsey can 

put you in contact with 

Guernsey service providers 

if you would like more 

detailed information.

Open Market 

property 

Relocation to Guernsey is very straightforward, 

thanks in part to our two tier property market. 

Homes are registered as being either on the Open 

Market or on the Local Market. Local Market 

homes are essentially reserved for those who are 

locally born, but it is the Open Market which is 

the key to residency for most new arrivals. 

Image courtesy

Open Market properties 

may be occupied by 

individuals or families 

holding British passports 

or who have right of 

abode in the UK. Non- 

British passport holders 

who have been granted 

an Investor* visa or an 

Entrepreneur* visa may 

also live in an Open 

Market property (*further 

information about 

these visas is available 

on the Immigration 

page of this booklet). 

There is no minimum 

revenue level required 

to gain residency in 

Guernsey. The simple fact 

of occupying an Open 

Market Part A home 

gives residents the right 

to live and work on the 

island indefinitely. 

Open Market residents can 

work should they choose to. 

It is ideal for entrepreneurs 

seeking flexibility or the 

freedom to work for any 

employer**, for any length 

of time. Open Market 

Residents are not reliant 

on employment permits, 

which are frequently time 

limited. (**Entrepreneur 

and Investor visa holders 

may only work in the 

business for which the visa 

has been granted or in 

connection with managing 

their investments). 

Approximately 7% of 

Guernsey’s properties 

are on Guernsey’s Open 

Market Register. They can 

be found all across the 

island and are available to 

rent or purchase. However, 

Open Market property 

prices tend to be higher 

than Local Market prices. 

Local Market properties 

are available for local 

residents and employment 

permit holders. Individuals 

recruited to work on 

the island because their 

full-time post is deemed 

to be “essential” can do 

so where their employer 

secures an employment 

permit. This enables the 

permit holder to live 

in an Open or a Local 

Market property. 

Whatever your 

circumstances, please 

contact Locate Guernsey 

to discuss your individual 

needs – we can provide 

further information about 

Guernsey’s property 

markets as well as lists 

of local estate agents, 

advocates, property 

finders and surveyors. 


Healthcare 

Guernsey has an excellent healthcare system employing best practice across its 

network of medical centres and the Princess Elizabeth Hospital (PEH). In 2020 

healthcare has been very much in the spotlight and our Public Health team 

have worked closely alongside the Civil Contingencies Authority to lead the 

island’s response to Covid 19 and develop a strategy suitable for the island. 

We were the first place in the UK to be Covid-free and have our own on-island 

testing facility. Our test, track and trace system is working well and public 

confidence in Guernsey healthcare is very high. Our Covid 19 vaccination 

programme is progressing well and many islanders are now fully vaccinated. 

Medical care in Guernsey 

is excellent although it 

is not part of the UK’s 

National Health Service. 

GP appointments are 

easily available and 

excellent specialist care is 

delivered via the island’s 

Medical Specialist Group. 

Healthcare is partly 

funded by Guernsey’s 

Employment and Social 

Security Committee 

with residents paying 

into an income-related 

contributions scheme. 

GP visits, A&E visits, 

Ambulance use, Dentists 

and physiotherapy 

requested by the GP are 

all delivered privately and 

referred to as “Primary 

Care”. A contribution 

towards the cost of a GP 

consultation is made by 

the Primary Care grant 

but the balance is paid by 

the patient (or by private 

medical insurance if they 

have subscribed to a 

suitable policy). 

Specialist care (also called 

“Secondary Care”) is 

provided by The Medical 

Specialist Group (MSG), 

a private practice of 

specialist consultants. 

The cost of treatment 

and hospitalisation for 

Secondary Care when 

referred by a GP or 

an MSG Consultant is 

covered by the States 

of Guernsey and this 

includes any treatment 

and care which may have 

to be delivered in the UK. 

The MSG also provides 

treatment that can be 

paid for by the patient, 

known as “private patient 

care”. The PEH has a 

private wing (the Victoria 

Wing) where private 

patients may elect to stay 

for in-patient treatment. 

Please speak to Locate 

Guernsey for further 

detailed information 

about healthcare.

Setting up 

a business 

Establishing a business in Guernsey is a 

straightforward process and same day 

registration of a company is possible. With the 

majority of companies paying the standard 

corporate tax rate of 0%, establishing a 

business in Guernsey is an attractive option. 

One of the many advantages of doing 

business in Guernsey is the ease and 

speed with which decisions can be made 

and businesses established. Guernsey 

has a pro-business government with 

pragmatic and helpful regulators. 

Amongst other things, 

Guernsey offers: 

World-class financial, professional 

and legal services 

A well regulated, secure, 

internationally recognised 

and compliant jurisdiction 

Strong digital and 

telecommunications infrastructure 

as well as a Digital Greenhouse 

and start-up hub 

Leading jurisdiction for private 

equity and home to “The 

International Stock Exchange” 

Strong investor networks helping 

scale-up businesses 

Geographical proximity to the UK 

and being in the same time zone 

A wide range of commercial 

premises and serviced offices 

A highly skilled and professional 

work force 

Availability of employment 

permits allowing businesses 

to recruit specialist staff from 

off-island if required 

Active local branch of the IoD 

and the Chamber of Commerce 

14 


There are three rates of tax on 

companies in Guernsey: 

Company Standard Rate – 0% 

(the majority of businesses) 

Company Intermediate Rate – 

10% (applicable to corporate 

income from banking, fiduciary, 

insurance, administration of 

controlled investments, provision 

of custody services and investment 

management activities to 

individual clients and others) 

Company Higher Rate – 20% 

(applicable to corporate income 

derived from a regulated utility, 

oil or gas importer or supplier, 

large retail business where 

company taxable profit is more 

than £500k and from land and 

buildings in Guernsey, property 

development and exploitation 

of land and others) 

Investment Fund vehicles may apply for 

exemption from tax in respect of income 

from sources outside Guernsey. 

Regulated entities are licensed by the 

Guernsey Financial Services Commission 

(GFSC) or the Guernsey Competition 

and Regulation Authority (GCRA). 

Both regulators are pragmatic and willing 

to discuss innovative business models. 

15

Education 

As any parent who relocates with children will tell you, finding the right 

education solutions generally comes above any other consideration when 

seeking out a destination for relocation. It is therefore comforting to know 

that Guernsey’s education system offers excellence and choice. 

Guernsey’s Education 

system is similar to the 

UK with pupils allocated 

a primary school at the 

beginning of the school 

year in which they reach 

their fifth birthday. 

State primary school 

places are allocated by 

catchment area and 

schools are at the heart 

of parish communities. 

Children up to the 

age of 18 have access 

to free schooling via 

the state system and 

additionally three 

independent colleges 

offer first class 

private education. 

All three to four year 

olds are entitled 

to free pre-school 

provision for up to 

15 hours per week, 

38 weeks a year 

during term time. 

Children remain in 

primary education 

until they are 

11 years old. 

Thereafter the 

island’s mainstream 

secondary schools 

accept all-ability year 

groups, allowing 

all children to be 

provided with 

similar opportunities 

at each school. 

Guernsey follows the 

same curriculum as the 

UK through Key Stages 

1 – 4 and pupils sit GCSE 

and A-Levels at 16 and 18 

years of age respectively; 

additionally the current 

sixth form centre also 

provides the International 

Baccalaureate. More than 

80% of students decide 

to stay in education after 

Year 11. The College 

of Further Education 

and Sixth Form Centres 

within the secondary 

schools are good 

options for continued 

learning, and there are 

plenty of opportunities 

to learn new skills via 

apprenticeship schemes 

and training courses. 

Guernsey’s schools 

boast excellent sporting 

facilities and offer many 

opportunities for children 

to participate in sporting 

and other activities, 

both on and off the 

water, at a competitive 

and recreational level, 

which helps to maintain 

Guernsey’s reputation 

as a safe, familyfriendly 

community 

encouraging children 

to embrace healthy 

activity from a grass 

roots level and beyond. 


Immigration 

Holders of passports other than British passports seeking to live in Guernsey on 

the Open Market may apply for an Investor or Entrepreneur visa and ultimately 

may apply for “indefinite leave to remain” in Guernsey. The rules in Guernsey 

are slightly different to those of the UK although further changes are expected 

in due course. 

Investor visa 

This category of visa is 

for individuals looking 

to secure residency by 

making an investment 

into Guernsey’s economy. 

Currently*, applicants 

need to have the 

equivalent of at least 

£1m in their name in a 

bank account and be 

prepared to invest no 

less than £750k in a way 

that is of ‘benefit to the 

Bailiwick of Guernsey’. 

However, it is expected 

that these rules may 

change so please do 

speak to Locate Guernsey 

for further information. 

Successful applicants 

would be able to rent 

or buy an Open Market 

Part A home in the island 

to live in. 

For the main applicant, 

employment is limited 

to transacting business 

in connection with their 

investments but there 

are no restrictions on 

the type of work which 

any dependent may do. 

Entrepreneur visa 

This is for individuals 

looking to secure 

residency by taking an 

active role in the running 

of a business in Guernsey. 

Applicants must: 

have at least £200k 

in their name in a 

bank account and be 

prepared either to 

invest this sum into 

an existing Guernsey 

business or create 

a new Guernsey 

business investing a 

minimum of £200k; 

have a controlling 

or equal interest in 

the business; and 

demonstrate the 

economic value 

of the business 

for Guernsey 

As with the Investor visa 

programme, successful 

applicants would be able 

to rent or buy an Open 

Market Part A home to 

live in. 

For the main applicant, 

employment is limited to 

the company for which 

the Entrepreneur visa is 

granted, but there are 

no restrictions on the 

type of work which any 

dependent may do. 

Immigration permissions 

are granted by the 

Guernsey Immigration 

Service and would usually 

allow the applicant and 

their dependents to live 

in Guernsey for two 

years, with the option 

of applying for a further 

three years under the 

same scheme. 

At the end of 5 years, 

applicants for either 

the Investor visa or the 

Entrepreneur visa would 

be able to apply for 

indefinite leave to remain. 

*Please note that the 

island’s Immigration 

Rules are currently 

under review following 

changes in the UK.
