Skipton International, the local mortgage and deposit account specialists, has been shortlisted for the Best Medium Business category in the 2010 Guernsey Awards for Achievement, which covers local companies of between 11 and 45 employees.
With a strong focus on customer service and the local community, Skipton International's team of 31 are all based in Guernsey. The bank takes great pride in the fact that all phone calls to the office are answered directly by locally based employees. Staff development and training are also key strategic goals for the bank which regularly supports key developmental training initiatives such as external business qualifications.
Since its foundation in Guernsey 15 years ago Skipton has always played a high profile role in local life supporting community events such as the Floral Guernsey festival, where Skipton have been the lead sponsor since 1996, as well as many other events such as the Liberation Day celebrations. This year, Skipton International revitalised the promotion of the Guernsey Swimarathon one of the oldest local charity events, where all funds raised go to local good causes. 2010 saw over 1200 swimmers in 185 teams raise more than £40,000.
In business too, the bank is a winner. Earlier this year, Skipton International scooped the prestigious Moneyfacts 2010 award for Offshore Business Accounts. Moneyfacts is the leading independent researcher of banking and savings accounts in the UK. The bank was also voted Best US Dollar Account Provider by readers of Investment International, a key industry title.
Commenting on the bank's nomination, Managing Director Alan Bougourd Said, "This nomination is a real vote of confidence in our company and in all of the staff who work here and I am thrilled on their behalf. Our employees are our business, they are our public face and their professionalism and training is the reason why we are so well regarded by both business partners and customers alike."

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.
