Why Choose the Isle of Man for AIM / PLUS?

Using an offshore company for an AIM or PLUS listing can often enable a foreign trading company to access London’s Capital Markets without becoming liable to UK tax.

The Isle of Man is included within the OCED’s white list of jurisdictions that are deemed to be co-operative, transparent and internationally responsible. The island is ideally located, with easy access to London and business is well supported by a proactive Government. London based lawyers and bankers will be familiar with a legal system that is based on the principals of English law.

The key advantages of the Isle of Man are:

• Zero rated corporation tax , no capital gains, stamp duty or inheritance taxes.
• The 2006 Manx Companies Act provides a cost-effective, flexible company structure that can be tailored to meet the needs of the capital markets.
• Local professionals can often perform many of the advisory roles involved in obtaining a listing at far lower cost than London based firms.
• An Isle of Man company listed on the AIM or PLUS Market is not considered to be a regulated entity or fund.
• The Isle of Man forms part of the EU VAT system enabling VAT incurred throughout the EU to be reclaimed.
