The OECD annually produce a mean average of personal income tax as a percentage of total tax revenue only. Comparative analysis is not therefore possible in the terms requested.
Notes
- Total personal tax revenue has been taken from Government of Jersey tax receipts on Gov.je.
- Government revenue has been interpreted to mean total income of the States in the Consolidated Accounts, before gains/losses on financial assets, as reported in the Annual Report and Accounts. This is consistent with the position taken in the response to the Deputy ’s previous Written Question 282/2022.
