There is a lot of talk publicly and in the media on GST, taxes and how the States should proceed. The long-term goal is to raise £70-£75m and recover funds spent on Covid relief.

We are interested in understanding what CGi members and the public feel about the options that are being presented by the States.

 You will find below questions outlining the some options and we would be grateful if you could spare two minutes to share your thoughts. All responses are confidential and these will help us formulate strategy and a response to the proposals.

Question Title

* 1. Option 1 – increasing tax on income. There is a variety of options available which include a 3% health tax, a 6% increase for self-employed, a 5.4% rise for employees and a 0.9% increase for employers. There will be increased allowances for both employed and self-employed in order to protect lower earners.

Question Title

* 2. Option 2 – introduction of GST of 8%, 8% GSSA for working age adults, 4% for over 65s, remove the limit for employers’ GSSA, personal tax allowance raised to £14,000, plus company tax.

Question Title

* 3. Option 3– introduction of GST of 5% plus social security increases, no health tax. This is less mitigating for low income earners.
