The question is on whom does this taxation fall and, equally importantly, on whether there is the (sustainable) economic activity to provide the levels of funding to secure basic public service provisions. <br /><br />Jersey is in a precarious place. 1) We have seen a shift of the tax burden from corporations and wealthy individuals to the salaried tax payer. 2) We are continuing to rely on an industry (and related industries) which is rapidly changing and coming under increasing external hostile pressure to come to an end. There has been a respite on pressure on the finance industry from EU and UK, however, attention has turned to fulfillment, which in some ways (simplistically) can be seen as a microcosm of the general tax motives on which the offshore model is based. <br /><br />So what do we need? I believe we need to optimise taxation from those who can pay more, without prejudicing longterm prosperity. It is very unlikely that at present with 0% tax on some firms, 10% on others and 1% on 1(i)Ks that this is the optimum tax yield. Nor is it a level playing field for local competitors. <br /><br />Secondly, we need to encourage sustainable and probably low-medium worth industries to flourish; Tourism, Agriculture, agri-tourism, local produce and greater food and energy independence. <br /><br />We should also be looking towards more of a steady state economy rather than growth for growth's sake, which is not sustainableDeputy Montfort Tadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702165660857648225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258990332470277140.post-72790162892105494802011-11-01T08:25:24.125+00:002011-11-01T08:25:24.125+00:00Deputy Tadier,
