Constitution
The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency. It enjoys many important advantages, including political stability and financial soundness. Its legal system is based on common law, as in the UK and USA and as such is widely understood by most international lawyers.
Tynwald is the Island's 1000 year old Parliament. It makes its own laws and overseas all internal administration, fiscal and social policies. It has contracted with the United Kingdom Government to provide diplomatic, consular and commercial representation abroad.
Financial Status
The Isle of Man is one of the most attractive offshore financial centres, with undoubted status and stability. We have one of the most respected financial supervision systems in the world.
All major United Kingdom banks are represented as are a number of international banks.
