WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 24th FEBRUARY 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd MARCH 2025
Question
"Further to the response to Written Question 47/2025, regarding the 823 businesses that had deferred Class 1 Social Security payments at the end of 2024, will the Minister state the number of these that –
- are still actively trading;
- did not submit their 2024 annual return; and
- are officially dissolved?"
Answer
At the end of 2024, there were 823 employers that had deferred Class 1 Social Security payments.
- 587 of these employers are still actively trading according to records at December 2024.
- We do not, at this stage, have access to the JFSC Annual Confirmation Statements that companies are required to submit. However, we can confirm that of the 587 employers still actively trading, 473 had submitted a Combined Employer Return to Government in December 2024 or January 2025. A further 49 have submitted returns during 2024, albeit not in December or January 2025.
- Our records show 151 of the 823 businesses have ceased trading.
