The place to do business

The funds industry plays a significant role in the success of our Island and offers opportunities both for our existing businesses and businesses looking to relocate to a dynamic and growing jurisdiction.

The Isle of Man is situated at the heart of the British Isles and is a self-governing dependent territory of the British Crown. It is not a part of the United Kingdom but is a member of the British Commonwealth.

Tynwald, the Island's 1,000 year old Parliament, makes its own laws and oversees all internal administration, fiscal and social policies.

The Manx legal system is closely based on English law, but has been developed in certain areas to meet the Island's special circumstances, particularly with regard to taxation, company law, and financial supervision.

The Island has its own Income Tax and Customs & Excise services and enjoys a special relationship with the European Union effectively allowing free trade between the Island and the Union.

Combined with a first class telecommunication infrastructure and a great quality of life it is easy to see why we think the Isle of Man is the place to do business.
