The British Channel Islands are self governing dependencies of the Crown, but they are not part of the United Kingdom, nor are they part of the European Union. The Channel Islands are recognised as one of the world\\\'s leading offshore finance centres and have in recent years established themselves as e-commerce centres of excellence.
Alderney, the third largest of the Channel Islands and one of the constitutive islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, is approximately 8 miles from France and 60 miles from mainland Britain. It has its own government, legislature and company laws and operates with the same modern banking, insurance and investment laws as Guernsey. The Guernsey Financial Services Commission is a statutory body responsible for ensuring that the finance industry on Guernsey and Alderney is well regulated. Alderney is subject to the provisions of Guernsey taxation laws.
Alderney licensees are by law permitted to take advantage of the modern hosting facilities and reliable telecommunication networks on both Alderney and Guernsey. For international network links, Alderney and Guernsey's telecommunication network offers reliable and high capacity links to the UK, Europe, the USA and Asia. |
