The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency that is recognised as a leading International business and finance centre.
The island’s 23 years of unbroken economic growth is a testament to its drive for diversification, and its culture of innovation.
The island’s economy has averaged more than 6% per year in real terms over the last five years.
It is believed that the Island’s low tax status, political and economic stability, capacity and appetite for growth, proximity to London, competitive operating costs, and high quality of life make it a compelling and cost-effective environment for basing many types of business operations.
An agile and supportive Government, where Ministers and other key decision makers are accessible, leads to efficient actions from new ideas.
The Isle of Man is one of the most attractive offshore financial centres, with undoubted status and stability. We have one of the most respected financial supervision systems in the world recognised by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development).
The Isle of Man Government has welcomed the Island’s inclusion on the OECD 'list’ of countries complying with the global standard for tax co-operation and exchange of information.
Its legal system is based on English common law, as in the UK and as such is widely recognised by most international lawyers.
