WQ.165/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY R.S. KOVACS OF ST. SAVIOUR
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2022
Question
Will the Minister provide a breakdown for the last 10 years of how much revenue was collected for the Treasury through Island-wide rates each year, by Parish and in total; and will the Minister state in which areas the revenue collected through Island-wide rates is used?
Answer
The table in Appendix 1 provides the breakdown requested by the Deputy . The total Island Wide Rate revenue recognised in each year compared to the budget established in the Government Plan (previously Medium Term Financial Plan and Budget) is also published annually in the States of Jersey Annual Report and Accounts. For example, page 284 of the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts.
Island Wide Rate revenue forms part of the General Revenue Income received into the Consolidated Fund alongside Income Tax, GST, Impôts, Stamp Duty and Other Income. The estimates to be received in each year are set out in the Government Plan and approved by the States Assembly.
With the exception of the specific elements of Fuel Duty and Vehicle Emissions Duty ring-fenced to fund the Climate Emergency Fund as agreed by the States Assembly in previous Government Plans, no other General Revenue Income is hypothecated for a specific area of expenditure. Therefore, Island Wide Rate revenue contributes towards the overall funding available in the Consolidated Fund to be appropriated for each head of expenditure as part of the Government Plan.
