The programme

Changes introduced by the disguised remuneration legislation have shaken up the trustee world and still represent a major challenge – a challenge that is best tackled if fully understood.
However, the government’s keenness to encourage employee share ownership is an encouraging sign for EBTs. The Nuttall Review embraces the shares in trust model of employee ownership and should spark a new wave of business for Guernsey trusts.The conference will make use of professional speakers’ expertise to provide trustees with the latest regulatory and legislative updates and to showcase best practice models for employee share ownership.
