WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY T.A. VALLOIS OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 8th OCTOBER 2013
Question
Would the Minister provide figures for the amount of taxation received from each area of the economy for the years 2011 and 2012?
Answer
Figures are provided below for (i) Company Income Tax and (ii) GST.
- Company Income Tax
Sector 2011 2012 Financial Sector 53,339,000 59,275,000
Real Estate 11,942,000 12,238,000
Other Business Services 3,045,000 2,575,000 Transport and Communications 2,815,000 2,421,000 Construction and Quarrying 2,826,000 1,092,000
Hotels and Restaurants 1,106,000 714,000 Wholesale and Retail Distribution 751,000 538,000 Agriculture and Horticulture 373,000 358,000
Other Community, Social and Personal Services 88,000 59,000 Manufacturing 117,000 17,000
Health and Social 48,000 45,000
Total 76,450,000 79,332,000 Adjustment for accruals and year of assessment basis (1,470,000) 157,000 Corporate Income Tax 74,980,000 79,489,000
Notes to Income Tax figures:
The above analysis is only for corporate entities, It does not include partnerships or self-employed.
The industry classification is on a Taxes Office basis. This classification is in the process of being revised to bring it into line with the classification used by GST and other States Departments, in order to provide more consistent reporting.
The classification above is based on the primary activity of the Business, which may not be the main source of tax income (for example, many businesses receive rental income, which is taxed at 20%, whilst their primary income from a trade is taxed at 0%)
In order to be able to report on tax revenues by industry, information is only available based on year of assessment, rather than financial year. Year of Assessment 2011 is almost exclusively recorded in Financial year 2012, and Year of Assessment 2010 is almost exclusively recorded in Financial year 2011.
There are therefore two primary reasons for differences between Year of Assessment basis and Financial Year basis - accrual adjustments and amendments to assessments relating to other years. The net impact of these is shown separately.
It is not possible to analyse Personal Income Tax by area of the economy as a significant element of personal income is unearned, and cannot therefore be allocated to an industry. The comparable figures to the company tax data above are:
Financial Year 2011 £335,818,000 Financial Year 2012 £353,993,000

Notes to GST figures:
The GST rate changed from 3% to 5% in 1 June 2011 – this is the main reason for the increased income.
The total GST for 2012 relates to the analysis on page 116 of the Financial Report and Accounts 2012.
Negative values are repayments (i.e. the business has paid more GST on its expenditure than it has on its sales, normally because it is making some zero-rated sales and is therefore entitled to a GST refund).
It is important to note that these figures are not directly comparable to other measures such as retail sales figures, for the following main reasons:
· GST includes both revenue and capital spend, so major capital projects can distort return values.
· Not all businesses are GST registered (turnover below threshold).
· Some sales will not have GST applied (e.g. zero rated/exempt sales such as domestic house building and export of goods)
The industry analysis is a modified version of the UK 2007 Standard Industry Classification.
In order to be able to report on tax revenues by industry, information is only available based on the GST return data. A single return can span two years. Returns can also be amended at a later date. There are therefore two primary reasons for differences between Return Year basis and Financial Year basis - the net impact of these is shown separately.
