Customs and Immigration have appealed to the States to provide them with an extra six posts so that they can administrate the collection of GST at the Airport and Harbours as well as protect the Island from deception.
Even though Customs say they are fully trained for the new goods and services tax, they fear that they will struggle to manage on the frontiers.
Speaking to an Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny panel on Friday, head of the service Michael Robinson said that Customs have already felt the effect of a lack of resources and, on occasions, have been unable to check some vehicles coming off the ferry.
