Among the main protagonists will be Finance and Economics Committee president Senator Terry Le Sueur, who will be putting the case for the introduction of a three per cent goods and services tax.
The sales tax will raise about £45m of a projected £80m to £100m tax gap that will become a reality when the Island moves to a zero-ten corporate regime later this decade.
However, he has been so busy that he has been doing everything except write his speech for the debate.
Amendments have been tabled by Senator Stuart Syvret to exempt food, children’s clothes, medical supplies and books and newspapers from the tax.
Before States Members go into the House, a silent protest is being held in the Royal Square to urge politicians to support Senator Syvret’s amendments.
It has been called by the Senior Citizens’ Association and today the Transport and General Workers Union announced that it would be supporting the protest.
