I have already mentioned one amusing exchange in the States of Jersey last week. There was another that also caught my eye, which was an exchange on foreign based companies using Jersey:
3.11.2 Deputy G.P. Southern:
I am not sure if the Chief Minister accidentally or deliberately failed to answer the question: do they or do they not pay tax in Jersey or are they zero rated?
Senator I.J. Gorst [The Chief Minister]:
I did answer that question in my very opening sentence where I said, of course, they take advantage of tax neutrality. It does seem, if I may say so - of course, I am not one to complain - that the Deputy's questions this afternoon bear a remarkable resemblance to those questions posted on a certain tax research website.
Oh, good heavens! The Chief Minister of Jersey and States Members are all reading a 'tax research website'? Why on earth would they do that? And who would ask such questions? We need answers.
Thanks for reading this post.
