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.

Already living in Jersey

If you live in Jersey and already have a social security number, but are not registered for tax, then you will need to register with Revenue Jersey if:

• you are starting work for the first time
  
• you are starting your own business (self-employed, limited company or partnership)
• you have investment, pension or property income that exceeds your personal tax threshold
• any other circumstances where you will have a personal income tax liability
  

Returning to Jersey

If you're returning to Jersey after an extended absence you'll need to re-register using the personal tax registration form to update your details.

Non-residents

If you are non-resident but you have Jersey sources of income (for example employment or property income) on which you are liable to pay Jersey tax, you'll need to register by completing the personal tax registration form.
