Response

The move from the ITAX system to the Revenue Management System in 2019 means that this information is not recorded in a reportable format. To provide an answer to this request would require extraction and manipulation of data to produce new information. A Scheduled Public Authority is not required to manipulate and create new data sets in response to a Freedom of Information request; Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.

Article applied 

Article 3 - Meaning of “information held by a public authority”

For the purposes of this Law, information is held by a public authority if –

(a)     it is held by the authority, otherwise than on behalf of another person; or

(b)     it is held by another person on behalf of the authority.​
