ADDENDUM

If P.71/2019 Amd.(4) (lodged by the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel on 7th November 2019) were to be adopted by the States, the Minister for Treasury and Resources would need to propose an amendment to the Draft Finance (2020 Budget) (Jersey) Law 201- (P.109/2019) to give effect to this change in law.

The Minister can do this without notice, under Standing Order 80A. In order to assist Members, we are publishing the draft amendment to P.109/2019 which the Minister would propose  in those circumstances, as an  addendum to our Government Plan amendment.

DRAFT FINANCE (2020 BUDGET) (JERSEY) LAW 201- (P.109/2019): AMENDMENT

In Article 38 –

1. in paragraph (a) for " "£58.42" " substitute " "£56.42" ";

REPORT

As a consequence of the Government Plan 2020–2023 (P.71/2019): fourth amendment (P.71/2019 Amd.(4), lodged by the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel), a change is required to the proposed increase in excise duty on hydrocarbon oil, as specified in Article 38 of the Draft Finance (2020 Budget) (Jersey) Law 201- (P.109/2019).

This change would be necessary in order to reflect the correct uplift in excise duty, should P.71/2019 Amd.(4) be adopted by the States.

Financial and manpower implications

Should this amendment be adopted, it would reduce excise duty on hydrocarbon oil to the amounts specified in the wording of this amendment.
