25 July 2025
With just six days remaining until the 31 July filing deadline, Revenue Jersey has received 55,013
tax returns for 2025 – 28,454 on paper and 26,559 submitted electronically.
Approximately 67,000 returns are expected overall meaning approximately 12,000 remain
outstanding, though the final figure may be lower due to taxpayers leaving the Island without
notifying Revenue Jersey.
Taxpayers are reminded that if they have not previously filed their returns online previously they
will need to activate onegov accounts.
Comptroller of Revenue, Richard Summersgill, said: “Islanders must allow time to activate a
onegov account and complete digital ID setup. Verification delays can occur, so we urge
taxpayers to act promptly and use the guidance available to avoid late filing penalties.”
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.
If you don’t file by the deadline:
You will have a £300 fine added onto your assessment once you do file your return.
You will also receive a ‘Default Assessment’ in August, which is calculated based on the latest
information held about your income and circumstances.
If you don’t file your return within 12
months, you will have to pay the default assessment amount.
If you are more than 3 months late filing, you will start getting an additional penalty of £50 for
every month up to a maximum penalty of £750.
