WQ.302/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY L.V. FELTHAM OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 26th JUNE 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd JULY 2023
Question
“In relation to the rules around ‘ordinary residence’ and ‘temporary absence from the Island’, will the Chief Minister explain –
- how the rules apply to High Value Residents who take up residence in the Island having been granted Entitled status under Regulation 2(1)(e) of the Control of Housing and Work (Residential and Employment Status) (Jersey) Regulations 2013; and
- whether these rules are applied differently to High Value Residents compared with other residents and, if so, how and why?”
Answer
- Residents who hold 2(1)(e) status gain their entitled residential status by virtue of meeting the policy tests for 2(1)(e) applicants, as outlined in the guidance, notably a minimum tax contribution, and due diligence processes, and not by completing (or maintaining) a period of residence.
- They have no special or specific arrangements prescribed in policy regarding ordinary residence and temporary absence, save that their 2(1)(e) entitled status is not based on completing a period of residence.
