\n \n Overview <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
\n

In 1979, the United Kingdom (UK) and Isle of Man (IOM) Governments agreed that the UK and the IOM should be treated as a single tax area for VAT. Working with the UK tax authorities, the IOM operates its own tax office for VAT and other indirect taxes. The IOM has, independently of the UK, developed an efficient VAT application and de-registration processes. This streamlined approach reduces clients\u2019 exposure to market price fluctuations while awaiting VAT registration (1-2 weeks in the IOM compared to 3-4 months in the UK). A further key benefit of the IOM is that in certain scenarios there is a substantial cash flow advantage for clients, as VAT payments are not required upfront \u2013 they\u2019re treated as paper transactions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
