About the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is a long established and respected international finance centre
and has independent regulators separate to the UK. It has introduced a number of
new investment and taxation vehicles intended to enhance the island’s current standing
as one of the leading offshore jurisdictions.
The Isle of Man is not part of the UK but a self-governing dependent territory of
the British Crown. The island is therefore able to determine its own levels of taxation
independently from the UK. For example, there is no capital gains tax in the Isle
of Man, which means that investments can enjoy tax-free growth whilst they are held
offshore in the Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man has an impressive track record, frequently winning the coveted Best
International Financial Centre award at the annual International Investment Fund
and Products Awards, demonstrating its longer-term ability to be at the forefront
of change and innovation among international financial services centres.
