Supplementary information

  1. When the EU member states implemented, with effect from 1 July 2005, a directive on the taxation of savings income, Jersey, in common with a number of other dependent or associated territories of the member states and five European third countries (Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Switzerland) agreed to support the European Union by applying a withholding / retention tax to savings income arising in the Island, the beneficial owner of which is an individual who resides in a Member State. Within the EU, Austria and Luxembourg are also applying a withholding tax. The remaining member states of the European Union are automatically exchanging information on savings income.

  2. The States of Jersey enacted the Taxation (Agreements with European Union Member States) (Jersey) Regulations 2005. Under these regulations, the Comptroller of Taxes is appointed as the Competent Authority for the collection of the tax and its remittance to the relevant Member States.

  3. For the first three years (July 2005 to July 2008) retention tax was at the rate of 15%; for the following three years (July 2008 to July 2011) the rate was 20%; and thereafter the rate has been set at 35%.​
