Contemplating a contract in Jersey and since I've never worked there before, and I am aware that they have their own tax legislation, separate from mainland UK, I was wondering if anyone had come across anything unusual in terms of reporting, tax, what is and isn't allowed, etc?

I invoice through my own limited company, claim travel expenses and so on and I'm assuming this will be exactly the same in Jersey - does anyone know any different?

Thanks.

Did 3 months in Guernsey & it was business as usual.

The only thing you'll need to be wary of is accommodation.

FWIR you can only rent/buy on the open market & this is ludicrously expensive. Everything else is available to Guernsey residents only. I think your client would normally provide accommodation though. They did for me anyhow.

Get a gig in Alderney (yes, they exist) & you don't have to worry about any of that stuff.
