Tax & Payroll

When considering working in a different tax jurisdiction (Alderney is not part of the UK - we are a ‘Crown Dependency’) it is wise to understand how this could impact your tax affairs. Employees moving from the UK to Alderney and continuing their UK employment may be able to benefit from split year treatment from the day that they arrive, immediately transitioning to our lower taxes and transferable allowances. However you should not rely on this as specific conditions must be met. Please take professional advice to better understand your individual circumstances.

One firm of chartered Tax advisers that has been used by members of our group is Guernsey based LTS Tax.
If your UK employer is prepared to register with Guernsey revenue services themselves to operate a local payroll, then that’s great. If not, Guernsey based Focus can arrange this for them.

Banking

There are two banks on island (HSBC and Lloyds) and both provide great service. Both branches have outside cash points.
