With the lodging of the Draft Income Tax (Amendment No. 46) (Jersey) Law 202- [P.118/2020] proposition on the 22nd September 2020 the Panel requests the following to assist in its review of the reform:

• Further feedback given by the public, via email, letter or on social media to Government of Jersey in relation to the proposed reform;

• All advice given in relation to the Prior Year Basis Tax reform from advisory bodies or third parties including but not limited to tax advisors and mortgage lenders;

• A breakdown of the cost implications of the reform to Revenue Jersey and,

• Information gathered through the previous consultation which is sited as a lead factor to the reform being proposed.

The Panel understands that you will be carrying out focus groups, in October 2020, to inform the payment terms if the proposition is successful. The Panel requests that you forward any discussion guides or aid documents for this further consultation, it is also anticipated that any reporting of the findings gathered will be shared with the Panel prior to them being presented to the States Assembly. It is reasonable that these be shared in a confidential manner with the Panel as this information will allow for better scrutiny of the proposals before the debate of P.118/2020 on 3rd November 2020.

I look forward to your response and would appreciate it if this could be received by Friday 9th October 2020.
