Revenue Jersey's policy on tax rulings
In June 2016 Jersey signed up as an associate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative.
From 1 April 2017 Jersey has been required to spontaneously exchange details of certain tax rulings with tax authorities of other jurisdictions potentially affected by the ruling.
At this time, Revenue Jersey reviewed its policy regarding the granting of tax rulings.
The policy:
defines a tax ruling and explains the difference between a specific tax ruling and a general tax ruling
makes clear that Revenue Jersey will not provide clearance letters where there are no genuine points of uncertainty with regard to the application of the Income Tax Law
explains how to request a specific tax ruling
explains the effect of a specific tax ruling on the taxpayer
outlines the circumstances in which a specific tax ruling will be spontaneously exchanged with another jurisdiction
Request for a specific tax ruling should be emailed jerseytaxrulings@gov.je for the attention of the Assistant Comptroller with ‘Tax Ruling’ in the subject header.
