18 January 2010 - Investment International Award
After being voted the Best US Dollar Account Provider by the readers of Investment International, Alan Bougourd, managing director, Skipton International commented, "We are delighted to have won this prestigious award, as it recognises the international nature of our business. We launched our US dollar and euro accounts in mid 2008, as we realised our increasingly global client base needed the extra dimension of a foreign currency deposit holding.
Following our amalgamation with Scarborough Channel Islands which created Skipton International last year, we set ourselves the objective of becoming one of the most dynamic specialist offshore building society subsidiaries. We now have a strong reputation for innovation and consistently attractive savings accounts, so this endorsement from the readers of Investment International is much appreciated by all of us here at Skipton International. This year, as well as developing new savings options, we are planning to add to our facilities to make account operation even easier for our customers, wherever they might be in the world."

European Union Savings Tax Directive
Information for all EU Residents (including the UK)
This communication outlines the changes implemented, by the Government of Guernsey, on 1 January 2011, to the EU Savings Tax Directive ("The Directive").
Automatic Exchange of Information
If you are resident in the EU (including the UK) gross interest will be paid to you and be subject to an automatic exchange of information with The Guernsey Income Tax Authority. This report will detail your full name, postal address, account number/s, date of birth, place of birth, tax identification number (if known) and the amount of interest added to your account/s. Thereafter this will be forwarded to the tax authorities in your country of residence.
If you are deemed to be "non-domiciled" for tax purposes in your country of residence, we may be able to pay you gross interest without the need to submit an exchange of information report. To arrange this we require confirmation of your tax status, e.g. a letter issued by the tax authorities in your country of residence or accountants.
Non EU residents will continue to receive gross interest and it remains the responsibility of individual investors to disclose the interest earned on their accounts to the relevant tax authorities.
