WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st OCTOBER 2022

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th NOVEMBER 2022

Question

“Will the Minister indicate the estimated revenue gained by the States of Jersey through the taxation of rental income paid to landlords by tenants without ‘Entitled’ housing qualifications (for example. Registered only) per year for the last 5 years; and will the Minister further provide the estimate of the total income gained by the landlords of such tenants, per year for the last 5 years?”

Answer

Revenue Jersey can only collect information necessary to fulfil its functions of assessing and collecting income tax. Revenue Jersey does not need – and consequently does not require - taxpayers who are landlords to disaggregate their rental income and expenses according to the residential status of their tenants.
