The government has issued a reminder as just 23,000 forms – out of 68,000 returns issued last year – have been submitted. Those who are using the online system have until the end of July.
Of those submitted so far around 17,500 were paper and 5,500 were online.
Treasury Minister Susie Pinel said: ‘Filing online is quicker and easier than using the paper form.
‘For example, when someone answers a question, subsequent sections of the form that do not apply to that individual will not be shown. This removes the need to work out which sections need completing.
‘The online form can also be paused, saved and completed later. Once the form is submitted, taxpayers receive confirmation of receipt from the department. Feedback from Islanders who have used the online form is 82% positive.
‘Online tax filing represents another step in the modernisation of government services, and this is especially important at a time when Islanders are limiting the amount of time they spend away from their homes.
‘I would encourage all primary taxpayers with a smartphone and passport to make use of the online filing system.’
With many Revenue Jersey staff working from home, online filing means that they can assess tax returns without having to be in a government office to process the returns.
To file online, Islanders can go to gov.je/mytaxreturn until the 31 July. However, the sooner Islanders file, the sooner they will receive their assessment.
More information on how to file online is available on gov.je or you can contact Revenue Jersey on 01534 440300.
