WQ.399/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES
BY DEPUTY R.S. KOVACS OF ST. SAVIOUR
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 4th NOVEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 11th NOVEMBER 2024
Question
"In respect of Article 28 of the Draft Finance (2025 Budget) (Jersey) Law 202-, will the Minister advise how many taxable online retailers have been identified by her department as not paying GST, and the estimated total of GST payments that have not been made as a result?"
Answer
As of 11 November 2024, Revenue Jersey is aware of fewer than 12 suppliers which it considers may meet the criteria for GST registration and which are currently not registered. Revenue Jersey does not disaggregate groups of fewer than 12 taxpayers to protect confidentiality. It is not possible to estimate the total GST from these suppliers.
Online retailers are continuing to register for GST and Revenue Jersey are actively engaging with the identified minority to register them for GST and reduce the number of unregistered suppliers.
Where a retailer is not registered, GST above the de minimus level will be collected at the time of import from the customer.
