Islanders are reminded that they have until Saturday 31 May if they intend to file a
paper tax return.
So far, 33,400 of the Island’s approximately 67,000 taxpayers have submitted their tax
return, with 18,253 paper returns received.
Those who do not complete a paper tax return by Saturday 31 May have until
Thursday 31 July to submit an online tax return. Taxpayers who file on paper, or
online, after the respective deadline dates, will be liable to fines which increase
gradually until a return is filed.
Last year 51% of Islanders chose to file online and those who want to file online for
the first time this year will need to activate a onegov account, and set up a digital ID
before they can complete their tax return online.
There is a range of support available for the whole process, including:
- Step-by-step video for setting up a digital ID
- Telephone support for the tax return from Revenue Jersey on (01534) 440300
- Telephone support to activate a onegov account from Customer and Local
Services on (01534) 444444
- Online guidance for filing your tax return: File your personal tax return.
Richard Summersgill, Comptroller of Revenue, said: “We are hoping that Islanders will
complete their returns – either on paper or online – in good time this year.
“It is always best to file a tax return early as this increases the likelihood of monthly
tax deductions from employees’ salaries not changing significantly in future months.
“Currently, 88% of customers’ 2024 returns are being assessed within 30 days.
“After the paper filing deadline, taxpayers who have a passport will still have the
option to avoid a fine by activating a onegov account and filing online by 31 July.”
Islanders are reminded that Revenue Jersey moved from Philip Le Feuvre House in La
Motte Street in December. It is now situated in the Government of Jersey Union
Street building. With the deadline falling on Saturday 31 May, the building will be
closed but there is an exterior mailbox where customers can drop documents.
For anyone who does not have a valid passport, a non-passport option for JerseyMe
is available.
