International Savings Plans
Effective since 1 January 2019, Jersey is pleased to bring to market an innovative, new product, which has been approved by the Jersey tax authorities – International Savings Plans (ISPs).
ISPs enable multi-national and international companies to set up savings plans in Jersey for non-resident employees.
These plans are designed to be tailored to meet the needs of employer and employee – enabling a payout to employees when their employment ends or on the occurrence of a major trigger event which might include redundancy, ill health or divorce.

We make clear our stance on combatting illicit financial flows in ‘A Clear Direction’ report.

Geoff Cook writes that Jersey is ready to mitigate the challenges posed by the fallout of Brexit, economic market cycles, social unrest around the world and digital disruption.
In 2019 we expect to see more in the digital space and Jersey capitalise on its growing international reputation – a new office in New York, for instance, will enhance our pan-Atlantic links.
Read the blogRegistration of Overseas Entities Bill
Jersey Finance worked with its Member firms and industry to respond to the Department for Business, Energy & Industry Strategy (BEIS) consultation which sets out provisions to establish a new beneficial ownership register of overseas entities that own UK property.
In summary, our response stated that entities registered on Jersey’s central register of beneficial ownership information should either be exempt from the need to disclose information in accordance with the Draft Legislation, or Jersey should be considered to have an ‘equivalent’ register.
