SARK 

Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars or tarmac roads and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities and telecommunications for residents and visitors alike.  Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur.  Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement.  Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants, and public houses.

TAXATION 

Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, tax on any other worldwide assets or inheritance tax on its residents.  Other local taxes are very moderate.
