1) Name and brief description of the proposed decision The subject of your CRIA may be a proposed law, policy or proposition and in accordance with the Law is referred to in this template as the decision' • What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address? • Do children experience this problem differently from adults? |
The purpose of this amendment to the Proposed Budget 2025 – 2028 is to increase the income generated by Vehicle Emissions Duty (VED) for transfer to the Climate Emergency Fund. This amendment seeks only to generate income from the most polluting non- commercial vehicles, applying increases in the bands already identified by Government as the most polluting and increasing the percentage duty which is currently proposed. The Panel believes that this amendment will provide greater and more meaningful value from what it recognises to be a progressive tax, which increases the direct contribution of those who are buying vehicles with the highest CO2 mass emissions to the Climate Emergency Fund. The Panel's amendment would apply a 5% increase to each of the percentage increases proposed by Government for the highest three emissions bands for each of the four years of the Budget. The amendment would be to raise the proposed increases as follows: • 5% to 10% • 10% to 15% • 20% to 25% |
2) Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected? Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children |
The proposed amendment will not directly impact children living in Jersey. |

3) What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights? • Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC • Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision? |
The proposed amendment would not have a direct impact on children or their rights. |
4) Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required? If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion. |
No. This amendment does not include any additional impacts to children's rights. Therefore, a full CRIA is not required. |
