REPORT
The Commissioners of Appeal hear appeals from decisions of the Comptroller of Taxes.
Article 10 of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 requires that they be chosen from residents in the Island experienced in financial matters, who are not actively interested in any trade, business or profession carried out in the Island which is of such a nature as would cause their appointment to be objected to by competitors in similar trades, businesses or professions carried on in Jersey'.
The position was advertised in the Jersey Evening Post and the applicant was interviewed by the Jersey Appointments Commission. The Minister is delighted to recommend Mr. Leach as his recommendation for appointment to the Commissioners of Appeal.

Mr. Leach was educated at Hautlieu School and Oxford Brookes University. He worked in a number of finance roles in Jersey and the Middle East, including Coutts & Co. (Jersey) Ltd., HSBC- Ward ley Middle East Ltd., and HSBC Saudi British Bank.
He was a member of the Jersey Environmental Forum from 2005 to 2008 and is a newly-elected member of the Statistics Users Group. Other memberships include the 41 Club and he is also a committee member of the Gorey Boat Owners' Association.
