WQ.425/2023

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES

BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 30th OCTOBER 2023

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2023

Question

“Will the  Minister  state  the  annual  revenue  from  personal income taxation as  a  percentage  of  the Government revenue for the period 2017 to 2022; and advise how it compares with the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) average?”

Answer

This response replicates that provided to the Deputy in response to his WQ.144/2023 in April, with the addition of data in relation to 2022.

 

 

2017

2018

2019

2021

2022

Total personal income tax (£m)

Total government revenue (£m)

1,189

Personal income tax as % of government revenue

36.0%

36.4%

36.4%

35.9%

38.9%

36.6%

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

  1. Total personal tax revenue has been taken from Government of Jersey tax receipts on Gov.je.
  2. Government revenue has been interpreted to mean total income ofthe States in the Consolidated Accounts, before gains/losses on financial assets, as reported in the Annual Report and Accounts. Thisis consistent with the position taken in the response to the Deputy ’s previous Written Question 282/2022.
