There are very few beautiful locations in the British Isles such as the Channel Islands and there is no denying just how appealing our outdoor lifestyle really is. Guernsey’s community revolves around the many stunning beaches we have on offer, the glorious cliff walks and the aweinspiring views around every corner. It is a safe lifestyle difficult to beat and the envy of so many that aspire to call Guernsey their home. As the recent launch of Locate Guernsey gains momentum - a welcome States of Guernsey initiative aimed at promoting our wonderful island and spearheaded by Richard Le Tocq there is every reason to be even more optimistic for the future of our islands. The bailiwick of Guernsey has never been so actively promoted and it is clear that the States of Guernsey wishes the islands to stand out above other jurisdictions, welcoming new businesses and potential residents with open arms. This can only complement the early activity that the open market sales and rental sectors have experienced this year and has been backed up by strong levels of enquiries and visits to the island from potential purchasers. Our island offers the security, well documented tax advantages, discreet and stress-less safe lifestyle that is a welcome retreat for many in turbulent political and financial times. Guernsey has never been more affordable with many Open Market properties within reach for so many, with the promise of instant residency without the overbearing red tape and selection process of other jurisdictions.

As I embark on my new career, I feel compelled to write a little piece for those of you in your twenties who would like to invest, but are perhaps intimidated because you may not fully understand the lingo. Perhaps you, like me, keep seeing references in articles to bulls and bears (and even ostriches) while wondering what on earth any of this has to do with money?! Without being ‘that’ person who says “investing is really simple” and then proceeds to talk in another language full of technical jargon, I should clarify that, essentially, investing means putting your money to work for you. Societal norms dictate that you earn an income by getting a job and working, which is exactly what most of us do. However, if you want to earn more money, you have to work more hours – and there is (thankfully) a limit to how many hours a day we can work. At this point, we can’t clone ourselves so that we can work more jobs; however, we can send our money out to work for us. This way, whilst we are working, partying or shopping on ASOS, we can also be earning money. For those of you who have seen the famous film “Wall Street”, you’ll know that money never sleeps…but that doesn’t mean that you can’t. Putting your money to work can increase your earning potential whether or not you receive a pay rise, decide to work overtime or get a promotion. This includes putting money into stocks, bonds and funds, among many other things. Sometimes people use jargon such as “investment vehicles” to describe these options, when what they really mean is “a way to invest”. It’s easy to relate to the fact that people invest because they want to increase their freedom and afford the things they want in life; however, what I’ve already learnt in my short career so far is that investing is becoming more of a necessity. In the face of onerous student loans, relatively low-paying entry-level positions and a lack of budgeting experience, young adults often face financial challenges. If I had a pound for every time an influencing adult in my life told me to start saving for a house or, dare I say it, retirement, I would be half-way to buying said house and early retirement! The problem is that those years seem such a long way off compared to the short-term purchases that could be made now. However, the irony is that young people have a singular advantage in the investing world – purely because they have that most precious of investing variables: time. In terms of investing, time is a far more valuable commodity than any that can be bought and sold on the FTSE 100.This concept of time being on your side is termed compounding (short for compound interest) and allegedly described as “the eighth wonder of the world” by Albert Einstein. I don’t know about you, but I definitely want in on any wonder of the world if it makes me money. At this point, I hope you already feel a lot wealthier than when we started. Guernsey: +44 (0)1481 729100 Jersey: +44 (0)1534 722051 Compounding, simply put, enables you to grow an investment by reinvesting the earnings and, as mentioned earlier, puts your money to work. By continuously reinvesting your earnings over time, you are exponentially increasing your return on investment. For example, if my friend Emily started investing at 25, and my friend Joe started investing at 35. Ultimately, due to Emily’s early start she contributes around 33% more than Joe over the course of her career, but Emily ends up with almost twice as much wealth as Joe does. For those of you who may be reading this and thinking that hindsight is a wonderful thing, it’s still not too late! History demonstrates that investing returns significantly more than bank interest on your money over the same period. So, given the current interest rate climate, there has never been a better time to start investing. Of course – and this is where my new career intrudes – there is always risk in investing; indeed, without risk there can be no return. But in the long term, that precious element of time gives your investments the ability to ride out the effects of volatility associated with market crashes and short-term booms. The key is to not be drawn into chasing returns. Personally, I have found it hard to come to terms with the fact that my hard-earned money could potentially end up in an investment worth less than its original cash value, but again that is short-term thinking. The sad reality is that by not doing anything with your money, your cash loses value due to the corrosive effect of inflation. Even with interest rates at almost zero, cash loses value over time, and £10,000 in a savings account today will not have the same buying power in 40 years’ time. In summary, there is an ocean of investment tools out there, but you have to avoid allowing its vast expanse to overwhelm you. The bottom line is that you are condemned to losing money by not doing anything with it – and we all have to start somewhere. Try not to drown in the financial jargon that floods the media and remember that, for now, time is on your side. In the words of President Snow: “And may the odds be ever in your favour”.

Those that wish to do this but still want to maintain the close geographic connections to the UK may consider Guernsey an attractive destination. Tax Capping Guernsey undoubtedly has many attractions including a high standard of living, safe environment, stable political framework and stunning scenery and coastline. Currently, the maximum amount of tax payable by an individual can be capped at £220,000 per annum. In addition the tax system in Guernsey is relatively benign with no capital taxes, inheritance taxes, VAT or GST. Guernsey maintains a simple flat rate of income tax for individuals of 20% and companies have a standard rate of 0%. There are three types of Guernsey residence status for individuals: Resident only – broadly spending between 91 and 182 days in Guernsey and 91 days or more in another jurisdiction in a year of charge. Such individuals are taxable on their worldwide income at 20% unless they elect, annually, to pay the Standard Charge of £30,000. Payment of the Standard Charge can be cost effective for individuals if the majority of their income derives from non-Guernsey sources. Solely Resident – resident as above and not treated as resident in any other jurisdiction. Individuals that fall into the solely or principally resident Alternatively, individuals moving to Guernsey, who have little or no Guernsey source income, can benefit from a lower annual tax cap of £110,000. Pensions Types of Tax Residence Principally Resident – broadly spending 182 or more days in Guernsey in a year of charge. categories will pay tax at 20% on their worldwide income, after personal allowances and other deductions such as mortgage interest in certain circumstances. In addition, relief is available against certain taxes paid outside of Guernsey and individuals can elect to have their tax liability capped. Under the terms of the Double Tax Treaty with the UK, pension receipts will be taxable in the country of residence. Individuals emigrating from the UK are likely, therefore, to be subject to a lower tax rate on their pension income than they would have been in the UK where the maximum income tax rate is 45%. Please also note the tax capping provisions above. Furthermore, a Guernsey resident individual may transfer UK pension rights into a Guernsey pension scheme which may ultimately remove the pension payments from the scope of UK tax altogether.
