Jersey paper tax return form deadline approaching

People in Jersey who do their tax return on paper are being reminded by the government that they have until Saturday 31 May to file it.

Just under half of taxpayers have submitted their returns for 2024 so far, with more than 18,000 of them being paper ones, it said.

Islanders have until Thursday 31 July to submit an online return - in 2024, 51% of people submitted their tax returns digitally.

Richard Summersgill, comptroller of revenue, said: "It is always best to file a tax return early as this increases the likelihood of monthly tax deductions from employees' salaries not changing significantly in future months."

The government said 88% of people's 2024 returns were assessed within 30 days of submission.
