Note - although the double taxation agreements with Jersey and Guernsey contain an non-discrimination article they do not satisfy the criteria of a ‘qualifying territory’. The legislation covering the meaning of ‘qualifying territory’ requires that the non-discrimination provision effects a ‘national of a state’. The term state cannot apply to a Crown Dependency therefore agreements with these territories are not capable of meeting the legislative requirements of a ‘qualifying territory’”.
