Topic: Guernsey
Guernsey residency
We are planning to buy a house in Guernsey in March this year but although we have put our UK house on the market, so far in this climate there are no takers. Are we allowed to keep the UK house and still be tax resident in Guernsey - we are planning to be there for five and a half months of the year, and four months in France. Would we be allowed to come back to our house in UK for say 2 months of the year if it has not sold in order to maintain it in good order?  Linda Jennings

Topic: Guernsey
Pay Day Loans
Hi there,
I am looking for some advice. I am an Australian who lives in the U.K. Without getting to much into detail about the tax situation, what I would like to know is can I start a pay day loans business in Guernsey and lend to people in the U.K? This would prove beneficial in the long run for me to operate my company outside the U.K. I appreciate that I would be generating business in the U.K but as it would solely be based online does that mean that the company would get taxed at the Guernsey rates.
Conversely, could I just lend my other company in the U.K money at a high rate so it only breaks even and therefore it would be the Guernsey company that makes the profit.
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be helpful. Regards,
Neil Spence  Neil Spence
