Financial accounts / statements required

The financial accounts/statements which the Comptroller of Revenue requires to be returned by an entity are set out below. 

Jersey incorporated companies which are tax resident in Jersey

Jersey incorporated companies will be required to return the accounts, approved by the board of directors, that are required to be prepared under the provisions of Article 105 Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (“the Companies Law”). 

If the company is a holding company which is not preparing separate accounts, by virtue of paragraph (11) of Article 105 of the Companies Law, then Revenue Jersey will require the consolidated accounts prepared by the company and approved by the board of directors. In such circumstances the company may also wish to enclose additional information such as a profit and loss account for the holding company.

131B Retirement annuity contract

Accounts of the company, incorporating the annuity fund must be made up to 31 December each year and must be prepared and signed by an independent qualified accountant, not connected to the annuitant and acceptable to the Comptroller.

Where an annuity company holds contracts for an individual and a separate contract for their spouse/civil partner, the annual accounts of the company must include a report of the funds held in each contract.

Foreign incorporated companies which are tax resident in Jersey

Foreign incorporated companies will be required to return the accounts which are required to be prepared under the Law of the country in which the company is incorporated. 

If the Law in the country in which the company is incorporated does not:

  • require the preparation of accounts
  • stipulate a standard for the preparation of accounts

then Revenue Jersey will require accounts to be prepared as if the foreign incorporated company was a company incorporated in Jersey ie as if the company was preparing accounts under Article 105 of the Companies Law. The accounts prepared by a foreign incorporated company must be approved by the board of directors.  

Foreign incorporated companies with Jersey branches  

A foreign incorporated company with a branch in Jersey will be required to return accounts of the branch. In some circumstances this may only be a profit and loss account. The branch accounts must be approved by the directors of the company or, if they have the authority, senior Jersey based employees, for example the branch’s Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer.

Incorporated/Unincorporated body / association or co-operative

An incorporated/unincorporated body/association or co-operative will be required to return the accounts which are produced for the members and approved by the members at the AGM. 

Foundation

A foundation is required to return the accounts prepared by the members of the council of the foundation.
