Privileges and Procedures Committee's Proposal

Draft Finance (2020 Budget) (Jersey) Law 2020 (Appointed Day) Act 202-. (P.75/2021) 

Under the current system employers submit their tax, social security, and manpower information on different returns. From January 2022, it is intended that employers will submit a Combined Employer Return (CER) every month, which will include tax, social security contributions and manpower all on the same return. For many employers the new return will reportedly eliminate significant duplication of information requests across the currently separate returns, bringing opportunities to cut down on administration. This proposition would set this up.

Draft States of Jersey (Amendment No. 10) Law 202-. (P.77/2021)

Minister for Treasury and Resources' Proposal

Social Security (Amendment of Law - Minimum Earnings Threshold) (Jersey) Regulations 202- (P.79/2021) 

Following States approval, from 1 January 2022, employers will collect and pay contributions for employees that earn above a certain amount, rather than when they work more than eight hours a week. 

The minimum earnings threshold will be initially set so that it is equivalent to working eight hours a week at the minimum wage. For information, the threshold today would be £289 per month or £66 per week. 

This change is intended to make it easier for employers to collect social security contributions for part-time employees and report information to the Government for contributions, income tax and manpower requirements, through a new combined employer return. 

Minister for Social Security's Proposal
