The Bailiwick of Jersey is an internally self-governing dependency of the British Crown located at the southern extremity of the British Isles. Jersey is not, and never has been, politically or legally part of the United Kingdom. As part of the evolved 800 year relationship between the Bailiwick and the Crown of England, the UK Government undertakes to represent the States of Jersey (the Island's Government) in matters of international relations, by specific agreement and request.

At the Bailiwick's request, UK legislation is sometimes extended to the Bailiwick, by Order in Council. When that is done, it is almost always modified to take account of the Island's own system of government. Jersey's unique position coupled with the fact that is not a full member of the EU means that by choosing to create a "tax footprint" in Jersey an e-business could take advantage of Jersey's 0% VAT and potentially 0% corporation tax.
