The Channel Islands do not levy VAT on goods sold within the islands. This does not mean that when buying goods fulfilled from the Islands, the purchaser avoids this tax. However, current concessions allow for VAT free purchases to enter the UK from the Channel Islands provided the value is under a specified limit. Postal and HM Customs and Excise agreements between the Islands and UK provide that all products despatched from the Islands into the UK carry a VAT declaration, and where applicable, this tax will be collected on behalf of the UK Government at the point of despatch.
It should also be noted that it is the Island’s current policy NOT to encourage businesses, established elsewhere in the EU, to specifically set-up offshore companies or fulfilment arrangements for the purposes of avoiding VAT on its products or services.
