Financial Centres
  
 
   A SAFE HAVEN IN AN OFF-SHORE PORT OF CALL PROVIDES YOU WITH A SHELTER FROM THE TURBULANCE OF TODAYS INTERNATIONAL MARKETS AND A SECURE HARBOUR IN STORMY TIMES.
 
 
  There are many off-shore centres to choose from,some more regulated than others',with PARK LANE INTERNATIONAL our principle concern is to use only safe havens   which have more than adequate investor protection and safeguards in place.For that reason the two principle centres we use are "The ISLE of MAN " and " GUERNSEY " (maps and information as below)

The ISLE of MAN

The Isle of Man is an established international finance centre, with a secure base built on political stability, low taxation and a firmly established fiscal and regulatory environment independent of the UK. In relation to providing international services it is fully supported by a modern infrastructure. It is one of the few international finance centres where Government's objectives for economic growth are matched by the physical space and labour resources needed to sustain them. In addition to the introduction of new investment and taxation vehicles designed to maintain and develop the Island's status as one of the premier offshore locations, the Isle of Man Government is already well advanced in the implementation of a new and dynamic zero tax strategy. To encourage further inward investment the Government has also initiated a strategy and provided funding to establish the Isle of Man as a leading e-commerce platform.

Policyholders Protection Scheme

For life assurance companies, the Isle of Man's Life Assurance (Compensation of Policyholders) Regulations 1991 ensure that in the event of a life assurance company being unable to meet its liabilities to its policyholders, up to 90% of the liability to the protected policyholder will be met. Unlike many other policyholder protection schemes, the Island's scheme operates globally, providing protection to policyholders no matter where they reside.

Guernesey

As an offshore jurisdiction, Guernsey is widely recognized as a well-regulated financial centre with very well-developed advisory and financial infrastructure. Guernsey is the home to the offshore operations of many of the world's largest banks, investment, and insurance companies (although Jersey remains by far the largest of the British Isles offshore jurisdictions in terms of its offshore deposits and mutual funds).
