Personal Income Tax and Income support (FOI)

Request

How many people in Jersey are paying more than zero Personal Income Tax and are also in receipt of any part of income support?

Response 

A register of people in Jersey paying more than zero Personal Income Tax who are also in receipt of income support is not held by the Government of Jersey. 

A Scheduled Public Authority is not required to manipulate and create new data sets under the Freedom of Information Regulations. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.
