Richard Hay of Stikeman Elliot will discuss Jersey’s options on corporate tax

JERSEY’S zero-ten tax review is just one of the topics for discussion at this year’s Annual International Conference organised by the Jersey branch of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

A strong line-up of speakers will take to the stage at the all-day conference – the branch’s 17th – which takes place next Friday, 6 November, and will be opened by Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean.

Richard Hay, a tax partner at global business law firm Stikeman Elliott, will talk about Jersey’s options for corporate tax following the abandonment of zero-ten.

There will also be an up-to-the-minute economic overview from Barclays Wealth head of research and investment strategy Michael Dicks and Collins Stewart Wealth Management global strategist Robert Jukes.

Among the other topics to be debated will be tax structures for Europeans, structuring issues for Russian high net worth clients, the role of the family office lawyer and treaty planning for Jersey companies and trusts. A keynote address from STEP Worldwide chairwoman Rosemary Marr will be delivered over lunch.
