Information has been provided in accordance with the Standard Industry Classification code identified by the taxpayer as befitting their business. Data has been taken from the Tax Statistical Digest and, where required, further broken down into the requested categories.
The Digest is available on the Revenue Jersey statistics page on gov.je via the following link:
Revenue Jersey Statistics
Information for years of assessment 2016-2019 is included in the Tax Statistical Digest but cannot be broken down further as it is contained in the previous tax system. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies to this information.
Information for year of assessment 2015 is publicly available through a previous FOI response which can be accessed via the link below. Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.
GST received by Industry Sector (FOI)
Registered charities are entitled to reclaim their GST paid; the amounts shown are therefore the revenue refunded.
Financial services companies are able to pay International Services Entities (ISE) fees as an alternative to registering for GST. The figures for Finance therefore refer to ISE fees.
