Original Manifesto

Guy de Faye

Candidate for Senator

BACK OFF ON TAX

Jersey suffered during the economic recession and any analysis of the global economy indicates it is not all over yet.

Hardest hit have been low and middle wage earners and I think they need a break, especially as more spending money will help boost the local economy. In addition to adjusting the base income tax thresholds, I would like to see an introductory 10% tax rate.

It is also obvious that raising alcohol prices has had no impact on “problem drinkers”, but IS progressively ruining our local hospitality trade and damaging Tourism. GST on alcohol is sufficient.
