Guernsey's Corporate Tax Regime
As you are all aware, Guernsey's Corporate income tax regime has come under intense scrutiny within the European Union and as a consequence the Zero - 10 system, put in place just two years ago has to change.
The local media has been full of comment on the topic and there are many different views on what should happen next and of course many comments about how the whole situation has been handled.
As with everything hindsight is a wonderful thing but now we must look to the future and how we can continue to do business with the world while keeping the EU happy.
Tony Mancini, Executive Director, Tax at KPMG has let us have a summary of the situatiion as he sees it. You can read the his comments by Clicking here. However if you have some thoughts you want to share with the CGi members, click on the link below and have your say on our forum.
