Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel Budget 2019 Review – Submissions

Bob Dale

Dear Simon

As you probably be aware by now, I am one of many that took retirement and moved abroad some of us for health reasons.I have sent countless emails to States members and had very few replies.The ones that have replied have been very helpful and sympathetic to our problem.

We all feel its very unjust for the States to stop our Marginal relief, all because we left Jersey.Some of us are now feeling the pinch at a time of life when we have all contributed to the States over many years.We should be feeling the benefit of our reward in our retirement years.But seems the States have other ideas of making it uncomfortable for us .I call it Penny Pinching. Unjust unfair and no need to do this to us.

We are no longer a burden on the States, And now we have to fund our own healthcare in the Countries we have chosen to live.

It seems we were caught out in this new tax and wasn't intended for people that are below the threshold,I believe those that are affected should be reimbursed with the taxes they have paid since it was introduced.It has nothing to do with double taxation as the States keep saying,its about giving us our marginal relief back.

Please feel free to contact me if you want emails that I have sent to states members in the past.

Regards Bob Dale.
