Registering for tax and getting a tax identification number

​Moving to Jersey for the first time

If you've moved here, you'll need to register as living in Jersey. This process includes tax registration so you don't need to register separately for tax.

Becoming a Jersey resident

Already living in Jersey

If you live in Jersey and have a social security number, but don't have an ITIS rate or complete a tax return you may need to register for tax.

Start work for the first time

You'll need to tell us what your salary is going to be so we can send you an ITIS rate. If you're going to earn more than your personal tax exemption threshold you will also be required to file a tax return.

Request an ITIS rate

Start your own business

You'll need to apply for a business licence.

If you already have a business licence then you should be completing a tax returns, even if your profits are below the tax exemption threshold or your company is zero tax rated.

If you have employees you need to register as an employer.
