WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2009

Question

"Could the Minister advise what studies, if any, have been done to investigate the exact progressiveness in the tax and benefit system and where these studies may be found?"

Answer

As part of the previous Fiscal Strategy review there was a great deal of research done on the tax system and alternative policy options. It is all available on the Treasury and Resources website at http://www.gov.je/TreasuryResources/Tax/TaxProposals. In particular the document P44 Fiscal Strategy Report and Proposition contains detailed distributional analysis of the tax system in appendix 1.
