The political party said an overhaul of the income tax system, which would scrap the ‘standard’ tax rate and put everyone on a tax rate of 25 per cent with the existing exemption thresholds and tax reliefs, would raise an additional £6 million a year.
The party said that the move would mean that Jersey’s top earners would ultimately pay more but that at least 90 per cent of taxpayers would pay less or the same as they currently do.
And Reform says that they want that money to be used to fund a higher education funding programme that would allow all undergraduate students to have their tuition fees paid for by the States.
