Achieving high value residency in Jersey was the topic of discussion at a seminar hosted by Ogier, RBC Wealth Management and Edge Properties last week.
The seminar, entitled ‘An essential guide to achieving high value residency in Jersey’ offered advice to lawyers, accountants and other industry professionals in London on all aspects of moving to Jersey, including the income tax requirements for 1(1)(K) applicants, how the housing law and policy affects 1(1)(K)’s when they have moved to the island, and finally a description of the state of the property market in Jersey at the moment.
The speakers included Nigel Philpott, Director of High Value Residency for the States of Jersey; Mark Power, Tax Director, RBC Regent Tax Consultants; Peter Bertram, Partner, Property Law Group, Ogier Jersey; and James de la Cloche, Director, Edge Properties.
Chairing the seminar, Steve Meiklejohn, Partner, Private Client and Trusts, Ogier Jersey said: “The event was extremely timely, created a great deal of interest and was well received. In light of the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer’s recent autumn statement, and in particular the proposed changes to the rules affecting UK non-domiciliaries, Jersey is likely to attract even greater interest next year from potential 1(1)(K)’s.”
The seminar was held at Canada House, Trafalgar Square, London.
