Q2.
Government of Jersey employees are required to be members of one of the government occupational pension schemes, and the ongoing approval of the pension scheme by the Comptroller of Revenue requires that the active members (i.e. those employed by the Government of Jersey) work in Jersey, which means they will be Jersey tax resident. A number of individuals are employed indirectly by the Government of Jersey to work in the Channel Islands Brussels Office and the Jersey London Office. These are employees of those Offices and will be tax resident in Belgium and the UK respectively.
