Guernsey’s only established political party Forward Guernsey has issued a statement which confirmed its three elected members, deputies Gavin St Pier, Rhona Humphreys and Tom Rylatt, would support the tax reform package.
The statement read: “We are committed to supporting tax reform that better protected lower and middle-income households, broadened Guernsey’s tax base and struck a responsible balance between different sources of revenue.
“While far from perfect, P&R’s current proposals represent a difficult but necessary step towards those objectives.”
Meanwhile Adrian Gabriel, President of the Committee for Environment and Infrastructure, said he would be unlikely to support P&R’s plans since he did not see the point of introducing GST at a rate of 3%.
