Isle of Man Finance

Funds Overview

The comprehensive reform of the Island's fiscal, regulatory and legislative structures and the introduction of several innovative Government incentives (such as the inward investment grant aid programme designed to encourage continued growth of high quality finance entities wishing to migrate to the Island or establish a new presence here) have given the Isle of Man a reputation for quality. The Isle of Man has a Triple 'A' sovereign rating from Moody's, AA+ from Standard & Poor's and has been recognised by the IMF as a well-regulated offshore Finance Centre of excellence.

The Isle of Man has developed a simple tax regime which means that for Fund Managers and Administrators that set up on the Island there are:

  1. lower costs than competing jurisdictions
  2. capacity to grow
  3. high levels of expertise in international fund management and administration
  4. a flexible licensing regime and choice of fund structure with fast set-up
  5. simple tax regime which means zero tax on the corporate profits of all managers and administrators
  6. no VAT charges on management or administration for most categories of fund
  7. no dual regulation on overseas funds

The Isle of Man provides an investment grade viable alternative to the traditional administration centres of the Caribbean and Western Europe. We look forward to continued growth in the Isle of Man and welcome you to come and share in our success where you will find 'freedom to flourish'.
