Response

The information requested is obtained by Revenue Jersey under the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 and other Revenue Laws for the purpose of ascertaining an entity’s tax liability.  Article 8 of the Revenue Administration (Jersey) Law 2019 prohibits the disclosure of any information obtained under a Revenue Law for any purpose other than that for which it was obtained.  The information is therefore exempt from publication under Article 29 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, which states that information is absolutely exempt if the disclosure is prohibited by an enactment.
