DEPUTY J.A.N. LE FONDRÉ OF ST. LAWRENCE

REPORT

I have been asked if it was possible to amend my proposition to enable the Assembly to make a choice between allocating a sum equivalent to exempting or zero-rating just food, and food and domestic energy. This amendment achieves that objective.

Financial and manpower implications

The estimated financial implications remain the same as in the original report, save that excluding domestic energy would reduce the revenue lost to the States by approximately £1.5 million.
