STATES OF JERSEY
PARISH RATES: THE STATES' LIABILITY (P.40/2013) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 3rd May 2013 by the Comité des Connétable s
STATES GREFFE
2013 Price code: A P.40 Com.
COMMENTS
The Comité des Connétable s are not unanimous in their opinion of the value of the Connétable of St. Helier 's proposition. Obviously it will affect the parishioners of some Parishes very differently to those of other Parishes. It will result in the ability of 2 or 3 Parishes to have a significant decrease in their rate due to the increased level of rateable quarters available to them.
Whilst accepting that the proposition seeks to restrict the method in which the cost can be funded, the majority of Connétable s are of the opinion that ultimately the public will pay.
Furthermore, the proposition fails to properly identify the exact financial impact on the rate of each Parish, which might reduce or increase as a result, and also whether acceptance of this amendment would affect the ratio of the domestic rate and non- domestic rate in the Island-wide rate.
